Which of the following hypotheses/theories suggests that investors regard a change in dividend payments as a signal that the firm's management expects future earnings to also change? a. Clientele effect theory b. Constant payout ratio hypothesis c. Dividend modification hypothesis d. Information content hypothesis e. Projected earnings hypothesi

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend policy (hypothesis) of firms as stated by Musa (2009) is a cultural phenomenon that changes continuously according to environment and time, hence it is necessary to continuously modify dividend behavioural models to capture those factors that are peculiar to a particular period and environment, as well as changes in tax.

Hope this helps

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
