You have been hired as a consultant by Capital Pricing Company's CFO, who wants you to help her estimate the cost of capital. You have been provided with the following data: risk free rate = 5%; market risk premium = 9.3%; and beta = 1.12. Based on the CAPM approach, what is the cost of common stock from reinvested earnings?

Which of the following statements is most correct? Other things equal, the higher the dividend growth rate, the lower the stock value. Other things equal, the lower the market value of debt, the lower the value of equity. Other things equal, the lower the dividends, the lower the stock value. Other things equal, the longer the investment holding period, the lower the stock value. Other things equal, the higher the required rate of return, the higher the stock value.

NOTE: based on the info given please solve the question .

Your colleague collects the information in Table 1. Included are D/E ratios and estimated equity betas for firms similar to the take-over tarket, the target firm's Debt-to-Firm Value ratio, the target firm's tax rate, and the average YTM and coupon payments for their outstanding debt. Using this data, find the appropriate WACC for this investment decision. Hint: Firm Value is Debt + Equity. Therefore, D/(D+E) = 0.2. Use this to solve for D/E, the target firm's leverage ratio.     D/E Equity Beta   Target D/V 20% Competitor 1 29.90% 2.68   Tax Rate 40% Competitor 2 -7.60% 1.94   Average YTM 6% Competitor 3 32.20% 1.92   Average Coupon 6.50% Competitor 4 49.70% 1.12   Equity Market Risk Premium  5% Competitor 5 21.70% 0.97   Treasury Note 4.93% Competitor 6 34.30% 2.13   WACC   Competitor 7 28.50% 1.27       Competitor 8 -6.70% 1.01       Competitor 9 42.60% 0.98

The constant growth valuation formula has dividends in the numerator. Dividends are divided by the difference between the required return and dividend growth rate as follows: Po = D₁ (Is - g) Which of the following statements best describes how a change in a firm's stock price would affect a stock's capital gains yield? The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has an inverse relationship with the firm's expected future stock price. The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has a direct relationship with the firm's expected future stock price. Walter Utilities is a dividend-paying company and is expected to pay an annual dividend of $2.45 at the end of the year. Its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50% per year.

Describe and compare (i) the Simple Earnings Capitalisation Model, (ii) Burgstahler & Dichev's option-style valuation model, and (ii) Ohlson's Unbiased Accounting Model for evaluating share prices. What is your assessment of the three models?
