Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. If the statementis false, explain why.f. If a firm follows a residual dividend policy then, holding all else constant, its dividend payout will tend to rise whenever the firm’s investment opportunities improve.

Dividend policy may be affected by firm level as well as macroeconomic level factors. Select FIVE variables (at least 2 firm-level factors/variables and at least 2 macroeconomic factors/variables) from the list shown below. Explain and discuss the predicted impact of selected factors on dividend policy using relevant theories. i.e. what theories help to predict the positive or negative impact on the dividend payout and why. FIRM-LEVEL FACTOR/VARIABLE Asset growth rate Positive NPV investment opportunities Capital intensity of the production process Free cash flow generated Number of individual shareholders Relative tightness of ownership coalition Size of largest block holder MACROECONOMIC FACTOR/VARIABLE Transaction costs of security issuance Personal tax rates on dividend income Personal tax rates on capital gain Importance of institutional investors Corporate governance power of institutional investors Capital market, relative to intermediated (bank) financing
