1. Adherents of the “dividends-are-good” school sometimes point to the fact that stocks with high yields tend to have above-average price–earnings multiples. Is this evidence c onvincing? Discuss.
2. Suppose that there are just three types of investors with the following tax rates:
|
Individuals |
Corporations |
Institutions |
|
|
Dividends |
50% |
5% |
0% |
|
Capital gains |

Individuals invest a total of $80 billion in stock and corporations invest $10 billion. The remaining stock is held by the institutions. All three groups simply seek to maximize their after-tax income.
These investors can choose from three types of stock offering the following pretax payouts:
|
Low Payout |
Medium Payout |
High Payout |
|
|
Dividends |
$5 |
$5 |
$30 |

These payoffs are expected to persist in perpetuity. The low-payout stocks have a total market value of $100 billion, the medium-payout stocks have a value of $50 billion, and the high-payout stocks have a value of $120 billion.
a. Who are the marginal investors that determine the prices of the stocks?
b. Suppose that this marginal group of investors requires a 12% after-tax return. What are the prices of the low-, medium-, and high-payout stocks?
c. Calculate the after-tax returns of the three types of stock for each investor group.
d. What are the dollar amounts of the three types of stock held by each investor group?
