Dividends?

Post by City Builder »

Hi,

Is there some kind of set formula that I should be using when setting my corporations dividend?

If not, then how do you know what to set it at?

Thanks

It is default at 0%
You need to construct the appropriate module in the HQ to be able to issue dividends

The dividends are based on the current year's profits

I know "how" to set them, just not "what" to set the dividend to.

Okay, so if they are based on the current years profits, then what is the mathematical formula that will tell me what to set the dividend to?

You can set at whatever you like.Dont bother with formulas i dont think the game is responsive as in real life.In real life companies that pay smaller dividend are usually known as "growth companies" because they use the cash to reinvest in new things and expand at faster rate.In the game if you set the dividend higher your stock price will be higher but you will have less cash to expand.I always keep it at between 2%-5%.
