Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
Modigliani and Miller or MM hypothesis states that dividend policy of a firm plays no role in the determination of the market value of it's stock or the market value of the firm.
As per the theory, dividend policy of a firm is irrelevant and does not affect the value of the firm.
The theory maintains that under specific set of assumptions, the capital structure of a firm and it's composition does not play any role in determining the value of a firm and no capital structure can be termed as optimal.
It further states, the value of a firm is determined by capitalizing it's expected return with the firm's average cost of capital. Also, a firm cannot change the total value of it's securities by splitting it's cash flows into different streams such as dividends or retained earnings.
A firm's value is determined by a firm's real assets and not by it's issued securities.
