Suppose that there are just three types of investors with the following tax rates: Individuals invest a total of $81.3 billion in stock and corporations invest $11.56 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 per share: These payoffs are expected to persist in perpetuity. The low-payout stocks have a total market value of $101.3 billion, the mediumpayout stocks have a value of $51.3 billion, and the high-payout stocks have a value of $121.3 billion. a. Who are the marginal investors that determine the prices of the stocks? b. Suppose that this marginal group of investors requires an after-tax return of 10%. What are the prices of the low-, medium-, and highpayout stocks? c. Calculate the after-tax returns of the three types of stock for each investor group. d.
