How does a payout of dividends effect the net income?
It shouldn't. Dividends are not considered an expense since stockholders are investing in the company. In return for investing, the company pays them but they are not employees.
Meaning and factors effecting dividend policy?
A dividend policy is a company's approach to distributing profits back to its owners or stockholders. If a company is in a growth mode, it may decide that it will not pay dividends, but rather re-invest its profits (retained earnings) in the business. If a company does decide to pay dividends, it must then decide how often to do so, and at what rate. Large, well-established companies often pay dividends on a fixed schedule, but sometimes they also declare "special dividends." The payment of dividends impacts the perception of a company in financial markets, and it may also have a direct impact on its stock price. From-Gudlu Mohanty....!

Why does the value of a share depend on dividends?
One of the most commonly made mistakes is that people relate the dividends paid to the financial health of the company. Let me say that more dividends paid does not mean comapny is doing good and vice versa. Generally, if the company pays less dividend because it requires that money for a new project which in turn will add to company growth. Thus stock price increases. If company does not have any new projects and still cut on dividends than stock price may go down. In short, if company can grow faster than the markets than it should give less dividends. However, if company is growing slower than the markets than it should give more dividends so that people can invest in markets and earn more. If comapny does not follow this logic than its stock price reduces.

No, paying out dividends when a firm's annual net profit is negative is generally not advisable. Dividends are typically distributed from profits, and negative earnings indicate financial difficulties.

It's more prudent to retain earnings to stabilize the business.
