Question

The expected pretax return on three stocks is divided between dividends and capital gains in the following way: Stock Expected Dividend Expected Capital Gain A $0 $10 B 5 5 C 10 0

a. If each stock is priced at $185, what are the expected net percentage returns on each stock to (i) a pension fund that does not pay taxes, (ii) a corporation paying tax at 45% (the effective tax rate on dividends received by corporations is 10.5%), and (iii) an individual with an effective tax rate of 10% on dividends and 5% on capital gains? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

b. Suppose that investors pay 40% tax on dividends and 10% tax on capital gains. If stocks are priced to yield an after-tax return of 10%, what would A, B, and C each sell for? Assume the expected dividend is a level perpetuity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
