Answer:
a. Stock X pays a higher dividend per share than Stock Y.
Explanation:
stock x, dividend = $1.25
$25 = $1.25 / (12% - g)
12% - g = $1.25 / $25
12% - g = 5%
g = 7%
stock y, dividend = $0.75
$25 = $0.75 / (10% - g)
10% - g = $0.75 / $25
10% - g = 3%
g = 7%
both growth rates are equal, what varies are the dividends that the stocks yield and the required rates of return
