Explanation / Answer

Calculations

Expected growth rate =Return on investment*Retention ratio

where Retention ratio=(1-dividend payout %)

Accordingly,

(b) Stock A Stock B

15*50%=7.5% 15*33.33%=4.99 or 5%(approx)

(c) Value of shares = Do*(1+g)/ke-g

Stock A Stock B

1*(1+0.075)/(15-7.5)% 1*(1+0.05)/(15-5)%

= $14.33 =$10.50
