问题如下:
Beta Corporation is a manufacturer of inflatable furniture. Which of the following scenarios best reflects a stable dividend policy for Beta?
选项:
A.Maintaining a constant dividend payout ratio of 40–50 percent.
B.Maintaining the dividend at $1.00 a share for several years given no change in Beta’s long-term prospects.
C.Increasing the dividend 5 percent a year over several years to reflect the two years in which Beta recognized mark-to-market gains on derivative positions.
解释:
B is correct.
Choice A is consistent with a target payout ratio policy. Choice C is not correct because the earnings increases described are not sustainable long term.
stable dividend policy不是说的是在dividend达到稳定状态之前的N年,每年DIVIDEND增长的金额是一样的吗?即delta d=(Dn-D0)/N,B选项的意思是说每年的DIVIDEND都是1块钱,这是不对的吧?
