ch.8 Flashcards
- The Stopperside Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $1.45 per share on its
stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year
indefinitely. If investors require an 11% return on the Stopperside Wardrobe
Co. stock, what is the current price? What will the price be in three years? In
15 years?
from tutorial
P0 = $1.45(1 + 0.06)/(0.11 − 0.06) = $30.74. For stock price in three years,
we have P3 = D4
r−g = 0$1.45(1+0.06)4
0.11−0.6 = $36.61. For stock price in 15 years, we
have P15 = D16
r−g = $1.45(1+0.06)16
0.11−0.06 = $73.67.
- The next dividend payment by Kilbride Inc. will be $1.89 per share. The
dividends are anticipated to maintain a 5% growth rate forever. If the stock
currently sells for $38.00 per share, what is the required return?
from tutorial
Solving for r , we have r = D1
P0
+ g = $1.89
$38 + 0.05 = 9.97%.
- Big Pnd Inc. has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays a $4.75
dividend every year in perpetuity. If this issue currently sells for $93 per share,
what is the required return?
from tutorial
Solving for r , we get r = D
P0
= $4.75
$93 = 5.11%.
- Red, Inc., Yellow Corp., and Blue Company each will pay a dividend of $3.65
next year. The growth rate of dividends for all three companies is 4%. The
required return for each company’s stock is 8%, 11%, and 14%, respectively.
What is the stock price for each company? What do you conclude about the
relationship between the required return and stock price?
from tutorial
PRed =
$3.65
0.08 − 0.04
= $91.25
PYellow =
$3.65
0.11 − 0.04
= $52.14
PBlue =
$3.65
0.14 − 0.04
= $36.50.
- Foxtrap Bearings Inc. is a young start-up company. No dividends will be
paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back
its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a $12 per-share dividend in
ten years and will increase the dividend by 5% per year thereafter. If the
required return on this stock is 13.5%, what is the current share price?
tutorial
$45.16.
- Condor Corporation stock currently sells for $64 per share. The market
requires a 10% return on the firm’s stock. If the company maintains a constant
4.5% growth rate in dividends, what was the most recent dividend per share
paid on the stock?
tutorial
$3.37.
- Peachytown Bank just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay
$20 annual dividend in perpetuity, beginning 20 years from now. If the market
requires a 5.8% return on this investment, how much does a share of preferred
stock cost today?
tutorial
$118.13.
- Lance Cove Choppers Inc. is experiencing rapid growth. The company
expects dividends to grow at 18% per year for the next 11 years before levelling
off at 5% into perpetuity. The required return on the company’s stock is 12%.
If the dividend per share just paid was $1.94, what is the stock price?
tutorial
$81.25.
If you buy a share of stock, you can receive cash in two ways
The company pays dividends.
You sell your shares, either to another investor in the market or back to the company
Suppose you are thinking of purchasing the stock of Moore Oil, Inc. and you expect it to pay a $2 dividend in one year and you believe that you can sell the stock for $14 at that time.
If you require a return of 20% on investments of this risk, what is the maximum you would be willing to pay?
Compute the PV of the expected cash flows
Price = (14 + 2)/(1.2) = $13.33
Now what if you decide to hold the stock for two years? In addition to the $2 dividend in one year, you expect a dividend of $2.10 in two years and a stock price of $14.70 at the end of year 2.
Now how much would you be willing to pay now?
PV = $2/(1.2) + ($2.10 + $14.70)/(1.2)2 = $13.33
Finally, what if you decide to hold the stock for three periods? In addition to the dividends at the end of years 1 and 2, you expect to receive a dividend of $2.205 at the end of year 3 and a stock price of $15.435.
Now how much would you be willing to pay?
PV = $2/1.2 + $2.10/(1.2)2 + ($2.205 + $15.435)/(1.2)3 = $13.33
that the price of the stock is really just
the present value of all expected future dividends
Constant dividend
The firm will pay a constant dividend forever.
This is like preferred stock.
The price is computed using the perpetuity formula.
Constant dividend growth
( growing perpetuity)
The firm will increase the dividend by a constant percent every period.
Supernormal growth
Dividend growth is not consistent initially, but settles down to constant growth eventually.
Zero Growth (constant dividend)
If dividends are expected at regular intervals forever, then this is like preferred stock and is valued as a perpetuity
P0 = D/r
Suppose stock is expected to pay a $0.50 dividend every quarter and the required return is 10% with quarterly compounding.
What is the price?
P0 = $0.50/(0.1/4) = $20
Suppose Big D, Inc. just paid a dividend of $0.50. It is expected to increase its dividend by 2% per year.
If the market requires a return of 15% on assets of this risk, how much should the stock be selling for?
P0 = [$0.50 × (1+.02)]/(0.15 - 0.02) = $3.92
If the dividend is expected to grow at 5% per year and the required return is 20%, what is the price?
P0 = 2/(0.2 – 0.05) = $13.33
As the growth rate approaches the required return, the stock price __________
increases dramatically.
As the required return approaches the growth rate, the price .
increases dramatically
Gordon Growth Company is expected to pay a dividend of $4 next period and dividends are expected to grow at 6% per year. The required return is 16%.
What is the current price? What is the price expected to be in year 4?
What is the current price?
P0 = $4/(0.16 – 0.06) = $40
What is the price expected to be in year 4?
P4 = D4(1 + g)/(r – g) = D5/(r – g)
P4 = [$4 × (1+0.06)4]/(0.16 – 0.06) = $50.50
Suppose a firm is expected to increase dividends by 20% in one year and by 15% in two years. After that dividends will increase at a rate of 5% per year indefinitely.
If the last dividend was $1 and the required return is 20%, what is the price of the stock?
Compute the dividends until growth levels off
D1 = $1 × (1.2) = $1.20
D2 = $1.20 × (1.15) = $1.38
D3 = $1.38 × (1.05) = $1.449
Find the expected future price
P2 = D3/(r – g) = $1.449/(0.2 – 0.05) = $9.66
Find the present value of the expected future cash flows
P0 = $1.20/(1.2) + ($1.38 + $9.66)/(1.2)2 = $8.67
