The main difference between an ordinary dividend and a qualified dividend is how they are taxed. Qualified dividends are taxed at a lower rate than ordinary dividends, which are taxed at the individual's regular income tax rate.
Qualified dividends are a type of dividend that is taxed at a lower rate than ordinary dividends. On Form 1040, qualified dividends are reported separately from ordinary dividends.

From InvestorWords.com: A dividend paid as additional shares of stock rather than as cash. If dividends paid are in the form of cash, those dividends are taxable. When a company issues a stock dividend, rather than cash, there usually are not tax consequences until the shares are sold. These additional shares of stock are usually distributed to shareholders at no cost. Please see the following site for additional information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividend
Qualified dividends are taxed at flat capital gains tax rate (currently 15%) while ordinary dividends are taxed as ordinary income, depending on an individual's specific tax bracket. For dividends to be considered qualified, they have to be absent form the IRS unqualified dividend list and the underlying stock that pays the dividend must be held for a specified by IRS holding period (more than 60 days during the 120-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date, and for preferred stock, the holding period is 90 days during the 180-day period beginning 90 days before the stock's ex-dividend date). Examples of dividends that do not qualify are: - Dividends paid on money market accounts - Dividends from mutual funds attributable to interest and short-term capital gains - Dividends from real estate investment trusts (REITs) - Dividends received in your IRA

In valuing a firm with no cash dividend, one approach is to assume that at some point in the future a cash dividend will be paid. You can then take the present value of future cash dividends. A second approach is to take the present value of future earnings as well as a future anticipated stock price. The discount rate applied to future earnings is generally higher than the discount rate applied to future dividends.
To be quite honest, it all depends on the company, and how much you are willing to spend. For instance, a company that's just newly onto the market with their initial public offering, may not have much to offer in terms of dividends. [They might, if they have predicted that a lot of people are interested in their shares.] However, a big well known company like Microsoft will have much more in dividends. Again, that goes to my second point. How much are you willing to spend? Once you answer that question, then you can guess at how much or what you'll get back.Dividends are available with any company on the stock market. Some offer cash dividends, that pay in cheques [a form of cash].There are extra dividends, which are almost like bonuses on top what you usually get from a dividend. For instance, a stock dividend, given in the form of bonus shares/stocks.A special dividend is when a company gives out a dividend that does not follow the regular schedule.A property dividend is when a company hands out assets, rather than cash.There are other things that are handed out in the form of a dividend, like warrants or financial assets with value on the market.
If the net income for the year is less than the dividends paid, it indicates that the company is distributing more money to shareholders than it has earned. This can lead to a reduction in retained earnings, potentially impacting the company's financial stability. In the long term, consistently paying dividends that exceed net income may raise concerns among investors about the sustainability of the dividend policy. Ultimately, it could necessitate borrowing or using cash reserves to maintain dividend payments.
No, that statement is not true. A residual dividend policy does not aim to maintain a stable dividend, but instead distributes dividends based on the residual earnings left after the company has financed all capital projects and met its financial obligations. This means that the dividend amount can vary depending on the company's earnings and cash flow, rather than following a stable dividend policy.
