Consider four different stocks, all of which have a required return of 18.75 percent and a most recent dividend of $3.45 per share. Stocks W, X, and Y are expected to maintain constant growth rates in dividends for the foreseeable future of 10.5 percent, O percent, and -5.25 percent per year, respectively. Stock Z is a growth stock that will increase its dividend by 20.75 percent for the next two years and then maintain a constant 12.5 percent growth rate, thereafter. a. What is the dividend yield for each of these four stocks? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. b. What is the expected capital gains yield for each of these four stocks? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "O" wherever required. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. a. Stock W dividend yield Stock X dividend yield 8.25 % 18.75 % Stock Y dividend yield 24.00 % Stock Z dividend yield 2.00% b. Stock W capital gains yield 10.50 % Stock X capital gains yield 0.00% Stock Y capital gains yield -5.25% Stock Z capital gains yield 20.75% Consider four different stocks, all of which have a required return of 18.75 percent and a most recent dividend of $3.45 per share.
