Answer:
10.67%
Explanation:
Gecko Company
Gecko = Expected Earnings growth rate = 8% annually
As there are no Capital gains tax, thus after Tax returns = Pretax returns
= 8%
Expected Dividend yield of Gordon = 5%
After tax returns = 5(1-.25)
=5(0.75)
= 3.75%
Assuming the pay out ratio = 100%
Gordon’s required pretax return = 8/ (1-.25)
=8/0.75
= 10.67%
At pretax return of 10.67% on Gordon the after tax returns on both the stocks are equal.
