In a world without taxes or transaction costs, it can be argued that dividend policy is irrelevant for shareholder value and cash flow. With a no-dividend policy, the current price is and will remain $100.00 per share. With a high-dividend policy, the current price is $100.00 per share and the value falls to $95 per share upon payment of the dividend.



Use the following example to demonstrate dividend policy irrelevance.



























No-dividend Policy



High-dividend Policy



5,000 shares owned



5,000 shares owned



$100.00 current price per share



$100.00 current price per share



$0.00 dividends per share



$5.00 dividends per share



$25,000 desired cash flow per year



$25,000 desired cash flow per year
