If the company is in equilibrium and its expected and required rate of return is 15%, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The company's dividend yield 5 years from now is expected to be 10%. b. The constant growth model cannot be used because the growth rate is negative. c. The company's expected capital gains yield is 5%. d. The company's expected stock price at the beginning of next year is $9.50. e. The company's current stock price is $20.

The stock of Nogro Corporation is currently selling for $20 per share. Earnings per share in the coming year are expected to be $3. The company has a policy of paying out 40% of its earnings each year in dividends. The rest is retained and invested in projects that earn a 15% rate of return per year. This situation is expected to continue indefinitely. a. Assuming the current market price of the stock reflects its intrinsic value as computed using the constant-growth DDM, what rate of return do Nogro's investors require? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
