ays no dividend, whereas Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 2.9 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate is zero, whereas the income tax rate is 35 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings growth rate of 12 percent annually, and its stock price is expected to grow at this same rate.

Answer:

Gordon's  Pretax return  is 13.015%

Explanation:

Dividend yield of Gordon  =2.9% =0.029

Tax rate = 35% =0.35

Gordon's after-tax return = Gecko's after-tax return =12 % (This is because  the capital gains tax is zero)

Using the formulae

After-tax return  of Gordon= Capital gains yield + Dividend yield x  (1-tax rate)

0.12 =  Capital gains yield + (0.029  x ( 1 - 0.35)

0.12 = Capital gains yield + (0.029 X 0.65)

0.12 = Capital gains yield + 0.01885

Capital gains yield= 0.12 -0.01885 =0.101155

  Pretax return  is given as

Capital gains yield + Dividend yield

= 0.101155+ 0.029 =0.13015 x 100=13.015%

Therefore, Gordon's  Pretax return  is 13.015%

Outsourcing is so sophisticated that even core functions such as engineering, research and development, manufacturing, information technology, and marketing can be moved outside the firm.

   The practice of employing a third party from outside a business to carry out tasks or produce commodities that were previously completed in-house by the business's own employees and personnel is known as outsourcing. Companies typically engage in outsourcing as a cost-cutting strategy.

   The outside business, often referred to as the network operator or third-party provider, makes arrangements for its own personnel or technological resources to carry out the duties or offer the services either on-site at the premises of the hiring business or at other places.
