The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms whose business risk is the same while having different dividend policies.

Gecko pays no dividend, whereas Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 3.5 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate is zero, whereas the income tax rate is 28 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings growth rate of 12 percent annually, and its stock price is expected to grow at this same rate. If the aftertax expected returns on the two stocks are equal (because they are in the same risk class), what is the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock?

Answer: 12.98%

Explanation:

The formula for pre-tax return for Gecko company can be calculated is the addition of the capital gains growth rate(g) and the dividend yield.

To get capital gains growth rate, we will use th e after-tax return formula which is:

= Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield × (1-Tax Rate)

Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) will now be:

= 12% - 3.5% × (1-28%)

= 12 - 3.5(72%)

= 12 - 2.52

= 9.48%

Pre-Tax Required Return will now be:

= 9.48% + 3.5%

= 12.98%

Research any three successful entrepreneurs of your choice.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

1. Andrew Carnegie

You probably recognize Andrew Carnegie’s name, since he’s one of the most famous and richest industrialists of all time. However, he didn’t accumulate his wealth as a result of formal education or a business-charged background. Instead, he dropped out of school at a young age and spent the major portion of his youth performing manual labor. He was a bobbin boy at a local cotton mill and then became a telegraph messenger. It wasn’t until he taught himself how to read and entered the railroad industry that he began to build the empire that would make him (and his family) a fortune.

2. John Paul DeJoria

You may not have heard of John Paul DeJoria, but you’ve certainly indulged in some of the beauty products attached to his name. Now a multi-billionaire and one of the most accomplished entrepreneurs in modern history, DeJoria got his start as a newspaper courier. To make ends meet, he worked as a tow truck driver and a janitor. Eventually, he found his way to working at a hair-care company, where he met his future partner, Paul Mitchell. With minimal experience and a $700 loan, the duo founded a company now known as John Paul Mitchell Systems. From there, DeJoria co-founded Patron Spirits and the House of Blues.

3. Harland Sanders

If someone asked you for a loan to start a restaurant, but had no formal culinary training or experience, would you make that loan? It seems crazy to think anyone could become a successful restauranteur without a background in the industry, but that’s exactly what Harlan “Colonel” Sanders was able to do. When he started his line of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, the only experience he had was cooking for his siblings as a child and working at a number of odd jobs.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.

*Data obtained from federal government sources.

2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.
