Question

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 – P_X)/D = (1 – T_P)/(1 – T_G)

Here P₀ is the price just before the stock goes ex, P_X is the ex-dividend share price, D is the amount of the dividend per share, T_P is the relevant marginal personal tax rate on dividends, and T_G is the effective marginal tax rate on capital gains.

a.	If T_P = T_G = 0, how much will the share price fall when the stock goes ex?

b.	If T_P = 16 percent and T_G = 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.)

c.	If T_P = 17 percent and T_G = 29 percent, how much will the share price fall? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)

Suppose the only owners of stock are corporations. Recall that corporations get at least a 50 percent exemption from taxation on the dividend income they receive, but they do not get such an exemption on capital gains. If the corporation’s income and capital gains tax rates are both 22 percent, how much will the share price fall? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
