raine owns 1,600 shares of lp gas stock which she purchased six years ago at a price of $18 per share. today, these shares are selling for $26 each. assume a tax rate of 20 percent applies to both dividend income and capital gains received by individuals. ignore costs. given this hypothetical assumption, from raine’s point of view a stock repurchase today would: multiple choice be equivalent to a cash dividend. be more desirable than a cash dividend in respect to taxes. result in the same tax liability as an equivalent cash dividend. be more highly taxed than a cash dividend. be totally unacceptable to her.
