Abstract: The purpose of the company is basically to maximizimg profit which is short-term oriented, and maximizing company’s in long term orientation. The views that financial management seeks to combine optimal investment decisions, financing and dividend policy decisions and combining the three that will maximize the value of the company. This paper discussed the perspectives of investment decision and dividend policy toward capital structure that need to be given about dividends. This is because dividends can provide useful information in equity valuation. Dividends are not direct measures of performance. The study argued that while theory tells us that there need not be any relationship between current dividends and expected future dividends, there is the possibility that management can use dividend policy to signal their view of the company’s prospects.
