Which of the following statements is CORRECT, assuming stocks are in equilibrium? a. Assume that the required return on a given stock is 13%. If the stock's dividend is growing at a constant rate of 5%, its expected dividend yield is 5% as well. b. A stock's dividend yield can never exceed its expected growth rate. c. A required condition for one to use the constant growth model is that the stock's expected growth rate exceeds its required rate of return. d. Other things held constant, the higher a company's beta coefficient, the lower its required rate of return. e. The dividend yield on a constant growth stock must equal its expected total return minus its expected capital gains yield.

One stock valuation model holds that the value of a share of stock is a function of its futuredividends, and that the dividends will increase at an annual rate which will remain unchangedover time. This stock valuation model is known as the * A.approximate yield model. B.holding period return model. C.constant growth dividend valuation model. D.dividend reinvestment model.

Stocks X and Y have the following data. Assuming the stock market is efficient and the stocks are in equilibrium, which of the following statements is CORRECT? Price Expected growth (constant) Required return X O b) $50 5% 10% Y $50 6% 11% a) Stock Y has a higher dividend yield than Stock X. One year from now, Stock X's price is expected to be higher than Stock Y price. c) Stock X has the higher expected year-end dividend. d) Stock Y has a higher capital gains yield. e) Stock X has a higher dividend vield than Stock V
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a stock has a required rate of return rs = 12% and its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%, this implies that the stock's dividend yield is also 5%. b. The stock valuation model, P0 = D1/(rs − g), can be used to value firms whose dividends are expected to decline at a constant rate, i.e., to grow at a negative rate. c. The price of a stock is the present value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the dividend growth rate. d. The constant growth model cannot be used for a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time. e. The constant growth model is often appropriate for evaluating start-up companies that do not have a stable history of growth but are expected to reach stable growth within the next few years.
The required returns of Stocks X and Y are rX = 10% and rY = 12%. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? 1. If Stock X and Stock Y have the same current dividend and the same expected dividend growth rate, then Stock Y must sell for a higher price. 2. The stocks must sell for the same price. 3. Stock Y must have a higher dividend yield than Stock X. 4. If Stock Y and Stock X have the same dividend yield, then Stock Y must have a lower expected capital gains yield than Stock X. 5. If the market is in equilibrium, and if Stock Y has the lower expected dividend yield, then it must have the higher expected growth rate.
