3. their dividend is related to profitA. 2,3
B 2 onlyans is b . y 3. their dividend related to profit is wrong ?
for my understanding …preference share dividend is an appropriate of the profit .
am i rite ? thank you
June 15, 2016 at 5:10 pm #323072The preference dividend is paid out in priority to the ordinary dividend (provided there is sufficient profit). So 2 is correct.
Although companies tend to be higher dividends if there are higher profits, that is not always the case and certainly does not have to be the case. The level of the dividend is not therefore directly related to the level of profit.

The preference dividend is a fixed dividend regardless of the level of the profit.
