You are interested in determining the intrinsic value of Hoffman Inc.
Your analysis shows that the firm’s growth rate will drop from its current pace by 20% each of the next two years, and then you estimate that dividends will continue to grow at the year 2 rate, with the same dividend policy in place, indefinitely.
Lastly, your estimate of the required return on the firm’s equity is 12%.
Hoffman’s recently published annual report shows the following financial relationships:
Assets = 1.4 x Equity
Current Assets = 1.7 x Current Liabilities
Sales = 1.5 x Assets
Net Income = 8% x Sales
Dividends = 30% x Net Income
Earnings per share (Basic) = $0.80 per share

- Your company has the following expected dividends over the next 6 years: $2.00, $2.40, $3.20, $3.60, $4.20, and $4.41. Note that starting in Year 5, dividends will begin to grow at a constant, long-run sustainable growth rate of 5 percent (D6 = $4.20 x 1.05= $4.41, etc.). Further, the risk-free rate is 4.0 percent, the Risk Premium on the Market is 6.0 percent, and the company has a beta of 1.30. Calculate the current price of this stock at Year 0.

Management then expects the company to grow at a constant rate of 9 percent forever. The company paid a dividend of $2.12 last week.

JMC earned a return of 14% in 2016, 20% in 2017, -8% in 2018. Assume the risk-free rate is 3% per year. You can treat this risk-free asset as an asset with a constant rate of return. What was the cumulative return from the start of 2018 to the end of 2018 if you had formed the following portfolios: A. Buy 500 shares of JMC, invest the remainder in the risk-free asset. B. Buy 2,000 shares of JMC on margin, borrowing at the risk-free rate. (Hint: When you borrow from the risk-free asset, its weight in your portfolio should be negative.) C. Short-sell 1,000 shares of JMC, invest the remainder in the risk free asset.arrow_forward
