THEORIES OF DIVIDEND
MM hypothesis is primarily based on the arbitrage argument. Through the arbitrage process,
MM hypothesis discusses how the value of the firm remains same whether the firm pays
dividend or not.

2. Walter’s model:
All investment proposals of the firm are to be financed through retained earnings only.
'r' rate of return & 'Ke cost of capital are constant
Perfect capital markets: The firm operates in a market in which all investors are rational
and information is freely available to all.
The relationship between dividend and share price based on Walter's formula is shown below:
r
D+ +( E−D)
Market price (P) = ke

r = Internal rate of return/ return on investment
3.GORDON MODEL
Firm is an all-equity firm i.e. no debt.
IRR will remain constant,
Ke will remain constant,
Growth rate (g = br) is also constant
The following formula is used by Gordon to find out price per share:
E 1(1−b)
Po =
k e−¿ br ¿
Where,
Ke = Cost of capital
r = IRR

CALCULATION OF SHARE PRICES USINGWALTER MODEL:
The relationship between dividend and share price based on Walter's formula is shown below:

Interpretation:
From the above calculation, it is quite clear that the value of shares (P) is inversely
related to the D/P ratio. As the pay-out ratio increases, the market value of shares
declines. This is so, because the firm is a growth firm (where r > K,) and is able to
earn a return on investments (r) exceeding the required rate of return (K,). The
market value of shares (& 150) is highest when D/P ratio is zero, i.e. the firm
retains its entire earnings. When all earnings are distributed, i.e. D/P ratio is 100%,
then its market value shows the lowest price (100).So, the optimum pay-out ratio is
zero.
