Answer:

c

Explanation:

Answer:

Correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Given:

Stock A:

Market price (P) = $25

Required return (r) = 10%

Growth rate (g) = 7%

Dividend = P (r - g)

                = 25 (0.1 - 0.07)

                = 0.75

Dividend yield = Dividend / Market price

                        = 0.75 / 25

                        = 0.03 or 3%

Stock B:

Market price (P) = $40

Required return (r) = 12%

Growth rate (g) = 9%

Dividend = P (r - g)

                = 40 (0.12 - 0.09)

                = 1.2

Dividend yield = Dividend / Market price

                        = 1.2 / 40

                        = 0.03 or 3%

So, dividend yield is same for both the stocks.
