A dividend is a distribution of profits by a
corporation to its shareholders. When a corporation earns a profit
or surplus, it is able to pay a proportion of the profit as a
dividend to
shareholders. Two important types of Dividends are Cash dividend
and stock Dividend. There is a saying that some time, in short term
Stock dividend favors the company but not in long term. Your
detailed comments are needed.
Cash dividend involves paying cash dividend as a percentage on par value of common stock. Stock dividend is dividend declared on outstanding commons shares. It is payable on number of common shares outstanding multiplied by stock dividend declared % multiplied by the market price of the share. Stock dividend rewards shareholders but is not favourable and sustainable to the company in the long run
