Assume that the average firm in your company's industry is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% and that its dividend yield is 8%. Your company is about as risky as the average firm in the industry and just paid a dividend (D0) of $1.5. You expect that the growth rate of dividends will be 50% during the first year (g0,1 = 50%) and 20% during the second year (g1,2 = 20%). After Year 2, dividend growth will be constant at 6%. What is the required rate of return on your company’s stock? What is the estimated value per share of your firm’s stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the monetary value to the nearest cent

Company A is a worldwide delivery company that is expected to generate a dividend (per share) of $1.40 one year from now (i.e. at t=1). You are expecting that on average Company A's dividends will grow at 5% each year after that into the indefinite future. Assume for simplicity that all dividends are paid at the end of each year. Suppose that the appropriate discount rate for these dividends is 10%. a. What is the current stock price for Company A? Assume that any dividend at t=0 has already been paid out. b. What do you expect the stock price of Company A to be next year (i.e. at t=1) immediately after the dividend has been paid out? c. What is the expected return for holding the stock of Company A over the year ahead? Hint: Find the IRR on the expected cash flows from buying and holding the stock for one year. The cash flows should include the purchase and sale of the stock as well as the dividend you will receive

Your firm currently has a large cash balance of $150M. It will generate a $40M free cash flow every year in perpetuity, starting at t=1. All free cash flows are paid out as dividends. Assume that your firm has an equity beta of 1.25 and 20M shares outstanding. The risk-free rate is 3 percent and the market risk premium is 6 percent. a) Suppose that your firm will pay out a dividend of $150M tomorrow. What is the cum-dividend price per share and ex-dividend price per share for your firm? b) Suppose instead that your firm uses the $150M to repurchase shares. How many shares do you repurchase? Calculate the price per share immediately following the repurchase. (c) Suppose instead that you announce that you will cancel the $150M dividend at t=0 and the $40M dividends at t=1 and t=2 to make capital upgrades. This means that the free cash flows from t=3 onward will now be $60M because of these capital upgrades, and that there will be no free cash flows at t=0, t=1, or t=2. All free cash…
Suppose you are considering buying the stocks of two companies that are similar in many respects. Both companies are expected to earn $6 per share in the coming year. Company A is expected to pay out the entire amount of earning as dividends one year from now, while company B is expected to pay out only half of the earnings as dividend, i.e. $3 per share. Both require a rate of return of 14%. A's constant growth of rate is 0, while B's is 5%. What are the expected prices of Stocks A and B? Stock A $42.86; Stock B $33.33 Stock A $50.12; Stock B $60.25 Stock A $35.86; Stock B $45.80
Suppose the same firm Amazon will distribute a $5 dividend next year. And you expect the dividend to grow at 5% for three years. Then the growth rate declined to 3% in the following three years. And finally, the growth rate will decline to 2% in all following years. You also calculated the expected return on Amazon would be 10% . What will be the price you are willing to pay to buy this stock now?
