Return on Common Stock You buy a share of The Ludwig Corporation stock for $21.40. You expect it to pay dividends of $1.07, $1.1449, and $1.2250 in Years 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and you expect to sell it at a price of $26.22 at the end of 3 years. Calculate the growth rate in dividends. Calculate the expected dividend yield. Assuming that the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to obtain the expected total rate of return. What is this stock’s expected total rate of return (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return)?
CALCULATING THE WACC Here is the condensed 2019 balance sheet for Skye Computer Company (in thousands of dollars): Skyes earnings per share last year were 3.20. The common stock sells for 55.00. last years dividend (D0) was 2.10, and a flotation cost of 10% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Skyes preferred stock pays a dividend of 3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for 30.00 per share. The firms before-lax cost of debt is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firms currently outstanding 10% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 5%, the risk-free rate is 6%, and Skyes beta is 1.516. The firms total debt, which is the sum of the companys short-term debt and long-term debt, equals 1.2 million. a. Calculate the cost of each capital component, that is, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, the cost of equity from retained earnings, and the cost of newly issued common stock. Use the DCF method to find the cost of common equity. b. Now calculate the cost of common equity from retained earnings, using the CAPM method. c. What is the cost of new common stock based on the CAPM? (Hint: Find the difference between r1 and rs as determined by the DCF method, and add that differential to the CAPM value for rs.) d. If Skye continues to use the same market-value capital structure, what is the firms WACC assuming that (1) it uses only retained earnings for equity and (2) if it expands so rapidly that it must issue new common stock?
DIVIDENDS Brooks Sporting Inc. is prepared to report the following 2019 income statement (shown in thousands of dollars). Prior to reporting this income statement, the company wants to determine its annual dividend. The company has 320,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock trades at 37 per share. a. The company had a 25% dividend payout ratio in 2018. If Brooks wants to maintain this payout ratio in 2019, what will be its per-share dividend in 2019? b. If the company maintains this 25% payout ratio, what will be the current dividend yield on the companys stock? c. The company reported net income of 1.35 million in 2018. Assume that the number of shares outstanding has remained constant. What was the companys per-share dividend in 2018? d. As an alternative to maintaining the same dividend payout ratio. Brooks is considering maintaining the same per-share dividend in 2019 that it paid in 2018. If it chooses this policy, what will be the companys dividend payout ratio in 2019? e. Assume that the company is interested in dramatically expanding its operations and that this expansion will require significant amounts of capital. The company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity. Given this scenario, would it make more sense for the company to maintain a constant dividend payout ratio or to maintain the same per-share dividend? Explain.
ALTERNATIVE DIVIDEND POLICIES In 2018, Keenan Company paid dividends totaling 3,600,000 on net income of 10.8 million. Note that 2018 was a normal year and that for the past 10 years, earnings have grown at a constant rate of 10%. However, in 2019, earnings are expected to jump to 14.4 million and the firm expects to have profitable investment opportunities of 8.4 million. It is predicted that Keenan will not be able to maintain the 2019 level of earnings growth because the high 2019 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced that year. After 2019, the company will return to its previous 10% growth rate. Keenans target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity. a. Calculate Keenans total dividends for 2019 assuming that it follows each of the following policies: 1. Its 2019 dividend payment is set to force dividends to grow at the long-run growth rate in earnings. 2. It continues the 2018 dividend payout ratio. 3. It uses a pure residual dividend policy (40% of the 8.4 million investment is financed with debt and 60% with common equity). 4. It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual dividend policy. b. Which of the preceding policies would you recommend? Restrict your choices to the ones listed but justify your answer. c. Assume that investors expect Keenan to pay total dividends of 9,000,000 in 2019 and to have the dividend grow at 10% after 2019. The stocks total market value is 180 million. What is the companys cost of equity? d. What is Keenans long-run average return on equity? [Hint: g = Retention rate ROE = (1.0 Payout rate)(ROE)] e. Does a 2019 dividend of 9,000,000 seem reasonable in view of your answers to parts c and d? If not, should the dividend be higher or lower? Explain your answer.
