Individuals invest a total of $80.9 billion in stock and corporations invest $11.08 billion. The remaining stock is held by the institutions. All three groups simply seek to maximize their after-tax income.

  

  

  

These payoffs are expected to persist in perpetuity. The low-payout stocks have a total market value of $100.9 billion, the medium-payout stocks have a value of $50.9 billion, and the high-payout stocks have a value of $120.9 billion.

  

  

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? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
