Q

D(0) = 4.00, Req. RoR = 12%, GR D(1) = 20%, GR2 = 15%, GR3 = 10% Constant, D(1) = 4.8, D(2) = 5.52, D(3) = 6.0702

Calculate PV and Price

A

PV of D(1) = N = 1, I = 12%, FV = 4.80, PV = 4.2857
PV of D(1) = N = 2, I = 12%, FV = 5.52, PV = 4.4005
PV of P(2) = N = 2, I = 12%, FV = 303.60, PV = 242.0281

Price = 4.2857 + 4.4005 + 242.0281 = $250.7143

36
Q

Solve the problem:

A stock just paid a dividend of D0 = $1.50. The required rate of return is rs = 9.0%, and the constant growth rate is g = 4.0%. What is the current stock price?

A
D(1) = D(0) (1 + g)
D(1) = 1.50 (1 + 0.04)
D(1) = 1.56
P(1) = D(1) / (rs - g)
P(1) = 1.56 / (0.09 - 0.04)
P(1) = $31.20
37
Q

Solve the problem:

The risk free rate of return (rf) is 6%, market risk premium (MRP=(rm–rf)) is 4%, and JP Morgan Chase’s stock has a beta coefficient of 1.5. If the dividend expected during the coming year is $2.25 (D1), and if the growth rate is constant at 5%, at what price should JP Morgan Chase’s stock sell?

A
RS = rf + b(MRP)
RS = 0.06 + 1.5(0.04)
RS = 12%
P(0) = D(1) / (rs - g)
P(0) = 2.25 / (0.12 - 0.05)
P(0) = $32.14
38
Q

Solve the problem:

Gray Manufacturing is expected to pay a dividend of $1.25 per share at the end of the year (D1 = $1.25). The stock sells for $22.50 per share, and its required rate of return is 10.5%. The dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate, g, forever. What is the equilibrium expected growth rate?

A
P(0) = D(1) / (rs - g)
22.50 = 1.25 / (0.105 - g)
22.50(0.105 - g) = 1.25
2.3625 - 22.50g = 1.25
-22.50g = -1.1125
g = 4.94%
