September 10, 2016 at 3:40 pm #339694Hello.
With reference to the dividend policy question in the exam, I have calculated the dividend payout ratio on the basis of dividend capacity, since dividend capacity indicates the amount of distributable dividends, will I be able to secure marks on that basis ?
September 10, 2016 at 3:49 pm #339700I assume you are referring to yesterday’s exam. I have not see the exam and so I cannot really comment without having seeing the actual question.
September 10, 2016 at 4:49 pm #339708Yes I was referring to yesterday’s exam. It’s bothersome.
We were given 3 companies with their respective Profit after interest & tax, initial expenditure, & dividends paid. We were asked to determine their dividend policies , their Advantages & disadvantages & suitable calculations. So hence my question on Dividend payout ratio.
September 11, 2016 at 7:37 am #339758Again, I really cannot help you without seeing the actual question and without seeing what you actually wrote.
