Describe the types of dividend policies that corporations frequently use. Which is most common? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
The constant dividend payout ratio seeks to keep the percentage of dividends to earnings constant. The stable dollar
dividend per share seeks to maintain a relatively stable dollar dividend over time. A firm following the small, regular
dividend plus a year-end extra dividend pays a small, regular dollar dividend plus a year-end extra dividend in
prosperous years. By far the most common is the stable dollar dividend policy. This provides the most stable stream of
dividends.
