- CH6 # 1 The ABC Company has a stable dividend policy ($2 per share per year). It also has a policy of not raising new capital from the market. The policy is to invest the available funds after payment of the dividends (excess cash is invested in marketable securities). What does this imply about the use of the present value method of making investment decisions?arrow_forwardAs 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?
