Alphabet (GOOGL) has yet to pay a dividend, but in spring 2018 it announced it would repurchase $8.5 billion worth
of shares over the year. (Actually, the exact amount was $8,589,869,056-known as a "perfect" number because it is
equal to the sum of its divisors). If the amount spent on share repurchases were expected to grow by 6.6% per year,
and Alphabet's equity cost of capital is 7.9%, estimate Alphabet's market capitalization. If Alphabet has 710 million
shares outstanding, what stock price does this correspond to?

IMB has 1 million outstanding shares, currently trading at $10 each, and it is all-equity financed. Current earnings are $2 million, which also provide the company’s current cash holdings. At the next board meeting, the directors will be discussing whether to implement a new investment project, not yet known to the public. The project costs $1 million and it will generate expected earnings of $.5 million a year, in perpetuity starting one year from now. The appropriate discount rate for the project is 10%.
If the project is not undertaken, the firm will pay a dividend of $2 a share. If the project is implemented, the firm must decide how to finance it. The board is considering two options: i) to finance the investment project by retaining earnings and paying only $1 dividend per share; ii) to keep the dividend at $2 per share, and to finance the project by issuing new equity. Shares are issued ex-dividend. Capital markets are perfect (no taxes).
