5.1 INTRODUCTION

A number of researchers have advanced theories and provided empirical

evidence regarding determinants of a firm’s dividend policy. The dividend policy

issue, however, is yet unresolved.

There are many factors that could affect a firm’s dividend payout behaviour.

According to partington,198736

these reasons include profitability, stability

of dividend payout and retained earnings, liquidity and cash flows, investment

variables and financial variables. According to Lintner,1956,Rozeff 1992,and

Barclay 1995,investment opportunities, agency costs, financial leverage, last year’s

dividend and firm size influence the dividend policy of a

company.Megginson,195737

states that there are worldwide industrial patterns in

the dividend policy and important factors affecting the dividend payouts are

regulations, industry growth rate, capital investment needs, profitability, earnings

variability and asset characteristics such as the composition of tangible and

intangible assets.

Moreover research in the past also shows that there are significant

influence of growth rate of firm, systematic risk, retained earnings, liquidity,

cash availability, provision for tax and firm size on dividend payout.

In this chapter, issues related to dividend policies have been analysed

within many framework including profitability, growth rate, liquidity, leverage

and provision for taxation etc. The major focus of the research, however is to

find out whether there is dividend policy of all companies ,to know the

relationship between the variables and with dividend payout and the technique of

correlation matrix analysis is used for the purpose, the scope, methodology used

and interpretation of the result of correlation matrix are presented after

discussion and an analysis of the impact of least related variable on the dividend

policy of a firm, that has either been made by merely observing the data of

the selected companies or hereby to go further analysis to know the extent of

impact of least correlated variable on dividend payout simple regression analysis has

been run. Based on application of correlation matrix least correlated variable has been

found. Least correlated variable refers low value (correlation coefficient). The study

is based on five years data of thirty selected companies of ten industries. The

period concerned is from 2007-2012. For the purpose of simple regression

analysis, dividend payout rate, which is defined as the ratio of dividends per

share for the firms dividend policy is as under:

Dividend Payout Ratio:

It measures the relationship between dividends and earnings.i.g. What

percentage shares of dividend is to be distributed from profit. It is to be calculated,

D/P Ratio = Dividend Per Share *100

Earnings per Share

The factors or explanatory variables are considered for the study purpose

are as under:

1) Liquidity:

Although dividend is related to earnings, the actual payment of dividend is

made from available cash. Thus, liquidity always plays an important role in any cash

payment by a firm. This usually happens in case of high growth firms or firm which

requires more funds for expansion purposes, which have very low liquidity because of

substantial investment like profitability, liquidity etc. Also has positive relationship

with dividend. Hence, greater the cash position and overall liquidity of a company,

greater is the ability to pay dividend.

The Current-Ratio is one of the best-known measures of financial strength and

liquidity. It is calculated as shown below:

Current-Ratio = Total Current-Assets

Total Current-Liabilities

2) Size and Growth:

Jahera, Lioud and Modani (1986) 38

find that size is the major factor that

determines a company’s policy. Big companies are usually in mature industries with

higher credit levels. Therefore, due to the fact that the cost of dividend policy is

relatively large companies have a stable dividend policy and moreover have a higher

payout than small companies. In order to study the influence of size on dividend.

Various measures such as Total Assets, Paid-up Capital, and Net worth etc. have been

38

Jahera, J. L. (1986). Growth,Beta and Agency Costs as Determinants of Dividend. Akron Business

and Economic Review 17, p.55-69.

71

used by researchers to represent size. James Bales said that many arguments may be

advanced against the use of any of the above measures for size. So, no measures are

perfect. Moreover, since all the above mentioned measures are correlated to each

other any measures may be used. Larger firms should be able to pay higher dividends.

Therefore expect to see the positive relationship between size and dividend payment.

Higher Growth companies have lots of investment opportunities and are likely to

pay low dividends because they have profitable uses for the capital. Therefore, high

growth companies prefer to capitalize on their favourable investment prospects and

have clear disincentive’s in paying operating cash flows and profits as

dividends.(Gaver and Gavert,1993)39

this ratio indicates the rate of growth of the total

assets in the business and is expressed in percentage.

3) Leverage:

A firm with large amounts of debts will follow a more conservative dividend

policy. The reason is that if a firm has relatively high financial leverage, its

dependence on external finance is increased. Therefore, such firms’ pay low

dividends to avoid borrowing i.e. a firm with higher leverage will pay a lower

fraction of earnings in order to lower its dependence on external financing leverage

can be calculated by Debt/Equity Ratio. The Debt/Equity or Leverage Ratio indicates

the extent to which the business is reliant on debt financing.

Debt/Equity Ratio =Long-term funds/Shareholder’s fund

4) Provision for Taxation:

In India, dividends were taxed in the hands of investors. Since investor did not

give significance to tax matter individual tax rates were irrelevant while determining

dividend policy in the Indian context. However, shareholders in the high tax bracket

may have preferred dividend income rather than capital gains. This is because, though

dividend income for the individual was free, capital gains are taxable in India.

Under the Finance Act 199740

, no tax was payable on dividends by a company

and consequently there was no withholding tax on dividends paid by a company to its

shareholders. However, a company declaring a dividend was required to pay income-

tax at the rate of 10% on the amount of dividend distributed. If, tax on dividends is

and Corporate Financing,Dividend and Compensation plocies . Journal of Accounting and

Economics, p.185-209 40

72

viewed from point of view of the corporate sector, they have to pay dividend tax and

changes individual tax rates may influence the company’s dividend policy. For

Example, a cut in dividend tax from 20% to 10% on the dividend declared by

companies had been viewed as positive.

This variable shows that how much amount from profit is kept for payment of

tax. This is a provision from profit formula used for calculation of provision taxation

is,

= Amount provided for tax
