2. As the trend is given there, 100% of the face value had been declared as dividend in 2005-06( previous to this, in 2004-05 that was 75% i.e. Rs. 7.5/.share) and then RIL is declaring more dividends in the further years, like 110%, 130% for two years.
3.
4. Earning per share of three years, i.e. 2006,07,08 are increasing from Rs. 63 to Rs. 131 and in response to this company had given dividend @ 100%, 110% & 130%, at increasing rates. This shows that company is giving much return to their shareholders as their part of profits.
5. But if we take a look at the Earning Per Share of 2009 i.e. Rs. 95, which is less than the previous year’s EPS and the company had not increased its dividend as it was doing from last 3 years, but still they maintained to gave them the same dividend as to the related previous year i.e. 130%. That may be some tactics to meet the expected demands of the shareholders that is the dividend paid by RIL in related previous year i.e. 130%.

12.
13. Reliance Industries is declaring just 70 % of their profits as dividends for this year, which is almost half of the previous dividend of 2008-09, that was 130%. Company’s declaration is not according to the markets’ sentiments but still the share price of RIL have not any downside on its share prices that mayb be due to their good profits which is giving an indication of further investment by the company as they are retaining 93 % for their reserves.
16. This issue also reduces the Earnings per share, Book Value and other per share values.
17.

The amount which is undistributed part rest out of the profits of the company is known as Retained earnings. Higher the dividend payout, lower will be retained earnings.<br />The dividend policy of a company refers to the views and policies of the management with respect of distribution of dividends. The dividend policy of a company should aim at shareholder-wealth maximization but it also moves according to the sentiments of the market as well as to the prospects of the company as Reliance Industries Limited is doing from last many of years to provide wealth maximization to the shareholders with providing dividends as well as the prices of their shares in stock market has also been increasing which is benefitting the owners with capital gains in their shares.<br /> 2008-092007-082006-072005-06 Net worth114520.3980577.3461255.0245154.07Capital Employed188494.12117057.0289140.8967019.68 Market capitalization (Rs.

Walter devised an easy and simple formula to show how dividend can be used to maximize the wealth of shareholders. He considers dividend as one of the important factors determining the market valuation. According to Walter, in the long run, share prices reflect the present value of future stream of dividends. Retained earnings influence stock prices only through their effect on further dividends.<br /> 2009200820072006EPS95.24131.9784.2863.7Rate of ROI (%) ( r )13.6619.323.5923.18retention rate (b)87.3491.587.7385.3cost of capital( k )4.465.786.566.49Dividend13131110Walter Model (p) (E-D)r/k251.88397.25263.52191.80P5939.087097.804184.723109.36<br />According to this model if the ROI from retained earnings is higher than the market capitalization rate then the value of its shares would be high even if the dividends are low. As given in the case of RIL the dividends are very less and retention rate is very high , nearly 90% of the profits but still the company’s share price is increasing which is due to their difference in returns rate and market capitalization rate as given in above table the difference is around 10-15% on positive side. <br />This Walter model is showing a fact that why market prices of shares of growth companies are high even if dividend payout is low, so it is proved that Walter model of dividend is very accurate in proving relation of dividend with market prices. <br />GORDON MODEL<br />Myron Gordon has developed a model that dividends are relevant and the dividend decision of the company affects its value. There are many assumptions taken for this approach, like rate of return on investment is constant, retention ratio is constant, cost of capital is also constant and higher than growth rate of the firm, corporate taxes do not exist. <br />GORDON MODEL(P0) br11.9317.6620.7019.54k-br-7.47-11.88-14.14-13.05P01100.711005.3693517.109406.5843<br /> <br />DIVIDEND TREND <br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/dividenddecisionsbyril-100801072840-phpapp02/85/Dividend-Decisions-By-Reliance-Industries-1-320.jpg)
