Answer the following questions as part of your response:

  • How would you describe McDonald’s dividend policy?
  • Why do you believe McDonalds chose the dividend policy they have in place? 
  • Do you agree or disagree that they have selected the best dividend policy for the company?
  • How might this dividend policy function in both perfect and imperfect capital markets?
  • Calculate the dividend rate over the past 5 years.  Define why you believe that it has or has not changed over the last 5 years.
