One of the most important components of stock valuation is a firm's estimated growth rate. Financial statements provide the information needed to estimate the growth rate. Consider this case: Robert Gillman, an equity research analyst at Gillman Advisors, believes in efficient markets. He has been following the mining industry for the past 10 years and needs to determine the constant growth rate that he should use while valuing Pan Asia Mining Co. Robert has the following information available: • Pan Asia Mining Co.'s stock (Ticker: PAMC) is trading at $22.50. • The company has forecasted net income and book value of equity for the coming year to be $1,420,200 and $11,115,000, respectively. • The company has also been paying dividends for the past eight years and has maintained a dividend payout ratio of 45.000000%. Based on this information, Robert's forecast of PAMC's growth rate in earnings and dividends should be: 31.95% 7.03% 28.75% 8.62%

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is a financial analytical tool that is essentially a calculation utilizing a company's market value of equity, debt, and tax rate. This allows both the company and investors an estimated net value of the company and can give indications of the value of the company moving forward. The WACC is especially important for a company to understand because the WACC is a good indication of the success or failure of a company's current investment strategy and if favorable, can assist a company when it comes to purchases of sales or other acquisitions
