The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms whose business risk is the
same but that have different dividend policies. Gecko pays no dividend, whereas
Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 4 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate
is zero, whereas the dividend tax rate is 30 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings
growth rate of 16 percent annually and its stock price is expected to grow at this same
rate. The aftertax expected returns on the two stocks are equal (because they are in the
same risk class). What is the pretax required return on Gordon's stock? (Do not round
intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal
