  4. Clarkson and Elliot
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Professor James E. Walter that the choice of dividend policies almost always affects the value of the enterprise. His model shows clearly the importance of the relationship between the firm’s internal rate of return (r) and its cost of capital $(k)$ in determining the dividend policy that will maximize the wealth of shareholders.

Walter’s formula to calculate the market price per share (P) is:

$P=\cfrac {\cfrac {D}{k}+\cfrac {E-D}{k} \times r} {k}$

P = market price per share
D = dividend per share
E = earnings per share
