Correct Answer: No change


Solution : Answer = No change

Payment of dividend payable will neither increase nor decrease long-term debt and balance of shareholder fund. Payment of dividend payable does not affect long-term debt or shareholder funds, so there is no change in the debt-equity ratio. Dividend payments involve only the distribution of profits and do not impact the capital structure.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
