In calculating investment ratios, the company uses dividend cover (i.e. how many times EPS covers dividend) rather than the dividend payout ratio (i.e. expression of dividend as a percentage of EPS). The same number of shares were in issue in both years. Which of the following statements is correct? Both dividend yield and dividend cover will be higher in 2020 than in 2019. In 2020, dividend yield will be higher than in 2019 but dividend cover will be lower. In 2020, dividend yield will be lower than in 2019 but dividend cover will be higher. Both dividend yield and dividend cover will be lower in 2020 than in 2019.
