问题如下:
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the regular cash dividends payment?
选项:
A.The agency conflict between shareholders and managers would decrease.
B.The agency conflict between shareholders and bondholders would decrease.
C.The default risk of debt would decrease.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:Different Types of Dividends
解析:支付现金股利,会增加股东和债权人之间的代理问题,债券的违约风险会上升。发放股利会增加自由现金流的支出,降低了管理层过度投资的概率,从而减少股东和公司管理层之间的代理问题。
讲义上不是说,增加dividends的payout,才能减少agency cost,这里只是正常支付啊,为什么选A?
