It means that the company would share its profit with its share holders once every 3 months of the year. The Dividend % is decided based on the profits made by the company during the current fiscal quarter.

Let us say a company has a face value of Rs. 10/- and decides to declare a dividend of 25% it means that for every share you hold in that company you will get Rs. 2.5/- as dividend.

What typically happens to ones retirement if a company declares bankruptcy?

If a company manages its own retiements system, the funds of the system are lost if the company declares bankruptcy. In the United States there is a system for insuring retirement systems, but the payout to individuals is generally much less through insurance than would have been provided by the retirement system itself. If a company has its employees contribute to a retirement system managed by a third-party provider, those employees who are vested in their accounts may not loose them if the employer declares bankruptcy.

If an investor buys stock on the ex-dividend date will that individual receive the dividend?

No, the definition of ex-dividend date is trading without the dividend. Any stock purchased "ex-dividend" date is not entitled to the dividend. AND equally as importantly OFFSETTING this - is the insatnt that happens the stock price is reduced by the amiunt of the dividend being paid. NO you cannot "steal" a dividend - that is buy it the day before the divideden gets paid (or ownership date actually) - and sell the day after - all you do is get the dividend and the equally lower stock value.

What happens to the price of a bond when a coupon is announced and to the price of a stock when dividend is announced.Why and how.Please provide suitable examples?

Generally, the price of a stock will rise around the same amount as the announced dividend. This may happen within a trading day or over a few days, because buyers are guaranteed a known return on their investment (the dividend). There is an element of risk involved in buying a share simply because it is about to go ex-dividend. A share's price will usually drop by the amount of the dividend very quickly after the ex-dividend date because new buyers won't be eligible for the dividend. Therefore, you could be holding a share that is worth less than what you paid for it and you will have to hold onto it for a while. But if the company's financials are solid, it is not unusual for the price to actually continue to rise. It depends a great deal on where the dividends are coming from, genuine profit or borrowings.
