As discussed in the text, in the absence of market imperfections and tax effects, we would expect the share price to decline by the amount of the dividend payment when the stock goes ex dividend. Once we consider the role of taxes, however, this is not necessarily true. One model has been proposed that incorporates tax effects into determining the ex-dividend price: (P0 – PX)/D = (1 – TP)/(1 – TG) Here P0 is the price just before the stock goes ex, PX is the ex-dividend share price, D is the amount of the dividend per share, TP is the relevant marginal personal tax rate on dividends, and TG is the effective marginal tax rate on capital gains. a. If TP = TG = 0, how much will the share price fall when the stock goes ex? multiple choice PX P0 D b. If TP = 16 percent and TG = 0, how much will the share price fall? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)…

What is the relationship between the expected return of a stock and its fair expected return? When is a stock underpriced, overpriced, or fairly priced? Explain what happens to the firm’s cost of equity, cost of debt, and cost of capital when the firm increases the amount of debt in its capital structure. Assume all Modigliani and Miller assumptions hold and that there are no taxes. How can we use the internal rate of return to evaluate whether we should pursue a specific project? Should we pursue a project when the cost of capital is higher than the internal rate of return?
Jana’s preferred stock is riskier to investors thanits debt, yet the preferred stock’s yield to investors is lower than the yield to maturity on thedebt. Does this suggest that you have made amistake? (Hint: Think about taxes.)
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices When calculating the cost of preferred stock, companies must adjust for taxes, because dividends paid on preferred stock are deductible by the paying corporation. Because of tax effects, an increase in the risk-free rate will have a greater effect on the after-tax cost of debt than on the cost of common stock as measured by the CAPM. If a company's beta increases, this will increase the cost of equity used to calculate the WACC, but only if the company does not have enough reinvested earnings to take care of its equity financing and hence must issue new stock. Higher flotation costs reduce investors' expected returns, and that leads to a reduction in a company's WACC. When calculating the cost of debt, a company needs to adjust for taxes, because interest payments are deductible by the paying corporation.
Which statement is false regarding the Capital Asset Pricing Model? A. The beta coefficient of a stock is constant. B. The risk free rate is usually based on the treasury bill yield. C. Market risk premium is the difference between market return and the risk free rate. D. The cost of retained earnings is equal to the cost of new shares issued.
