Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages common stockholders face regarding their claim on residual income?

A

Advantages for Common Stockholders regarding Residual Income:

Unlimited Upside: Common stockholders are entitled to any residual income (profits) after all other financial obligations are met. If the company does well, this can result in substantial dividends or capital appreciation.

Voting Rights: Common stockholders often have the right to vote on corporate matters, including the distribution of residual income, giving them some control over the company’s financial decisions.

Disadvantages for Common Stockholders regarding Residual Income:

Last in Line: Common stockholders are last in the hierarchy to receive any form of payment. If a company faces financial trouble, creditors, bondholders, and preferred stockholders are paid before any residual income is distributed to common stockholders.

No Guarantee: There is no obligation for a company to distribute residual income to common stockholders. The board may decide to reinvest profits rather than pay dividends.
