WHAT DO U MEAN BY DIVIDENDS. WHAT IS THE TYPE OF DIVIDEND
AND IS THIS PROFIT OR INTREST?

Answer Posted / bee

Dividends are payments made by a corporation to its
shareholder members. It is the portion of corporate profits
paid out to stockholders. When a corporation earns a profit
or surplus, that money can be put to two uses: it can
either be re-invested in the business (called retained
earnings), or it can be paid to the shareholders as a
dividend. Many corporations retain a portion of their
earnings and pay the remainder as a dividend.
Basically, dividend takes various forms and these can be
refer to types of dividend. These are; cash dividend, sock
dividend etc. However, dividend can be regarded as
share/apportion of profit to shareholder after interest and
tax, and not interest on money invested because it can only
be paid when company realised profit.

Occasionally it is said that issuing convertible bonds is better than issuing stock when the firms shares are undervalued. Suppose that the financial manager of Decent Furniture Company does in fact have inside information indicating that the decent stock price is too low. Decent furniture earnings will in fact be higher than investor’s expectations. Suppose further that the inside information cannot be released without giving away a valuable competitive secret. Clearly, selling shares at the present low price would harm Decent’s existing shareholders. Will they also lose if convertible bonds are issued? If they do lose in this case, is the loss more or less than it would be if common stock is issued? Now suppose that investors forecast earnings accurately, but still under value the stock because they overestimate Decent’s actual business risk. Does this change your answer to the questions posed in the preceding paragraph? Explain.
