Question

The expected pretax return on three stocks is divided between dividends and capital gains in the following way: If each stock is priced at $100, what are the expected net returns on each stock to (i) a pension fund that does not pay taxes, (ii) a corporation paying tax at 35%, and (iii) an individual with an effective tax rate of 15% on dividends and 10% on capital gains? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Suppose that investors pay 50% tax on dividends and 20% tax on capital gains. If stocks are priced to yield an 10% return after tax, 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.)

Explanation / Answer

a)

Investor Corporation :

Stock A = 28 - 28*35%= 18.20%

Stock B = 14*(1-35%) + 14 - 14*(1-70%)*35% = 21.63%

Stock C = 28 - 28*(1-70%)*35% = 25.06%

Individual

Stock A = 28*(1-10%) = 25.20%

Stock B = 14*(1-15%) + 14*(1-10%) = 24.50%

Stock C= 28*(1-15%) = 23.80%

b)

Stock A

Po = 28*(1-20%)/10% = $ 224

Stock B

Po = (14*(1-50%)+14*(1-20%))/10% = $ 182

Stock C

Po = 28*(1-50%)/10% = $ 140

Pension Investor Corporation Individual Stock A 28.00% 18.20% 25.20% Stock B 28.00% 21.63% 24.50% Stock C 28.00% 25.06% 23.80
