MPS and the some part of dividend is depend on the MPS if the MPS of company is high so the dividend
which is depend on MPS is high.

relevance of dividend theory for Company.
Answer:- There is a inadequate correlation and non significance F value between dividend per share
and stock price for ONCG .the dividend payments policy doesn't depend on the share stock market
performance. i.e. in 2019 te dividend per share is 7 rupees but the MPS in 159.55 rupees And in the
2018 the dividend per share is 6.6 rupees but the MPS is 178.65 rupees .the company paid is lower
dividend per share but the market price of per share is respond positively.

The correlation between MPS & DPR and also Enterprise value. It can be concluded the MP/EV have a
negative correlation i.e. in 2019 the MPS & EV is negative but the DP is positive & in the 2018 the MP /
EV is positive but the DP is negative so the significant relationship between DPR and MPS and DPR with
Enterprise Value. ONGC support the relevancy theory of dividend policy.

4. Evaluate the retention policy of Company for investments and its return on capital employed,
and determine their impact on Company’s shareholders’ investment behavior.

Answer:- Retention and dividend payout decisions mainly depend upon the enterprise and they are
determined by its future investment strategy and its evaluation of return on capital employed (ROCE).
ROCE evaluation is often linked to the assessment of shareholders’ value in terms of return on equity
(ROE). ROCE, calculated by dividing earnings before interest and taxes by total capital employed, is the
primary measure of how efficiently a company utilizes its available capital to generate greater profits.
Ultimately, it affects ROE, as ROE is about the profits generated on shareholders’ equity.. During
2016,2017 and 2018 company may be able to meet the objective of maximizing shareholders’ value,
indicating better returns on the capital employed and better returns in terms of higher share price. As
for shareholders, ONGC relatively lower dividend payout compared to other companies indicates its
priority for growth. The shareholders will have to continue to bank on the hope that the company's
share price will offer it's own reward.
