Solution

The false statement is A) Equity holders expect to receive dividends and the firm is legally obligated to pay them. This is because while equity holders may expect to receive dividends, the firm is not legally obligated to pay them. Dividends are typically paid out of profits, and if a firm does not generate a profit, it may not pay dividends. Even if a firm does generate a profit, the decision to pay dividends is at the discretion of the firm's board of directors.
