The dividend paid out of the profit made by the companies on that particular financial year. The payment is not necessary and depends on the company decisions either to pay or not. While the dividend payout ratio is a portion of a company's net income to the total amount paid out to shareholders. It is the percentage of profits distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. The balance will be retained by the company either to reinvest or paid off the debts.

This study aims to find out what is the relationship between the independent variables with the dividend payout ratio of consumer sector food & beverages.
