5 Which of the following statements is correct?
A A bonus issue can be used to raise new equity finance
B A share repurchase scheme can increase both earnings per share and gearing
C Miller and Modigliani argued that the financing decision is more important than the dividend decision
D Shareholders usually have the power to increase dividends at annual general meetings of a companyMy answer was B. I think I saw somewhere that the correct answer is C.
December 10, 2014 at 9:10 am #219941I initially put C by mistake – I have corrected my suggestions to B 🙂
December 10, 2014 at 10:00 am #219950Ok. Thanks. This means my MCQ grade goes up to 34 out of 40. I m so grateful to you Open tuition for helping me pass the MCQ. Hopefully the whole exam on that dreaded day on 8 Feb 2015.
December 10, 2014 at 10:22 pm #220101I hope so too 🙂

D Shareholders usually have the power to increase dividends at annual general meetings of a companyI know option B is correct but Can you please help me understand why option C is incorrect because M&M argued that dividend are irrelevant?.
thank you
March 8, 2018 at 9:52 am #441337Unless there is tax involved (and the question makes no mention of tax), then the financing decision is irrelevant because the WACC will remain constant however finance is raised. So the statement is only sometimes correct – not always correct 🙂
