Answer:

1. I feel like Pat's new strategy isn't ethical. Pat doesn't pay for the suits; he just buys them and then returns them. Pat benefits, but the store he gets the suits from doesn't. In fact, they are harmed from this transaction because they are unable to have the suit for others to buy while Pat has it. There could be consequences with this strategy. For example, the suit might be damaged, and Pat won't be able to return it. Another problem is that others might find out about Pat's strategy, and they might view them as unprofessional. This is a problem for Pat since the reason Pat wore those suits was to look professional.

2. The stores are harmed from this transaction. They are unable to sell the suits to other buyers. The stores lose potential customers, so the stores lose potential money.

3. The companies should record that Pat had bought the suit only to return it the next day, so that they can act accordingly when Pat or someone else comes back to "buy" a suit.

Explanation:

a. What are the dividend payout ratios for each firm

Dividend payout ratio = Dividend / EPS

• Payout ratio stock A = $1.30 / $2.6 = 0.5= 50%

• Payout ratio stock B = $1.3 / $1.8 = 0.72222 = 72.22%

b. What are the expected dividend growth rates for each stock.

Growth rate = ROE × (1 - dividend payout ratio)

•Growth rate stock A = 0.08 × (1 - 50%) = 0.04 = 4%

• Growth rate stock B = 0.05 × (1 - 72.22%) = 0.01389 = 1.39%

c. What is the proper stock price for each firm

• Stock A

Price = D1 / (Re - g)

D1= $1.30 * (1 + 0.04)

= 1.352

Stock B

Price = D1 / (Re - g)

D1= $1.30 * (1 + 0.013)

= 1.3169

Therefore,

• Stock A's proper price = $1.352 / (0.08 - 0.04) = $33.8

• Stock B's proper price = $1.3169 / ($0.08 - $0.013) = $19.66
