1. A constant-growing stock just paid $2 dividend and has a current market price of $3. Determine the stock's required rate of return if the company's constant growth rate is 5%. a. 5% b. 7% c. 12% d. 14% 1. c R D1/Po + g 2(1+.5)/3 +.5.12 2. Stock analysts just predicted that Hybrid Engine Company's earnings and dividends will grow at 2% each year for the next two years due to its new invention.

Determine the current price of the company's stock. a. $16.8 b. $15.1 c. $16.1 d. $13.8 2. b Step 1: compute D1, D2 D1 D(1+g*) 1(1+.2) 1.2 D2 D1(1+g*) 1.2(1+1.2) 1.44 Step 2: compute P2 D3/(k-g) D3 D2(1+g) 1.44(1+.5) 1.512 P2 1.512/(.14-.5) 16.8 Step 3: Compute P by discounting D1, D2, and P2 to present P 1.2 (1 +.14) 1.44 + (1 +.14) 16.8 + (1 +.14) 1 2 2 15.1 3. Southwest Technology's common stock is selling at $3 per share today. Southwest just paid a $2 dividend. Its dividend is expected to grow by 5% in the coming year. The required rate of return on Southwest is 15%. Determine the common stock's dividend yield and capital gain yield for the first year. a. 1%; 5% b. 7%; 8% c. 5%; 1% d. 6.7%; 8.3% 3. b dividend yield D1/P D1 D(1+g) 2(1+.5) 2.1 So dividend yield 2.1/3.7
We have total return dividend yield + capital gain yield 15% 7% + capital gain yield So capital gain yield 15% - 7% 8% 4. Heavenly Hotels, Inc. will not pay any dividends for the next three years. Heavenly will pay its first dividend of $2. per share at the end of year four and its dividends will stay the same forever. The required rate of return on the company's common stock is 1%. What price should the stock be selling now? a. $2 b. $16 c. $12 d. $15 Step 1: Compute D1, D2, D3, D4 D1 D2 D3 D4 2 Step 2: compute P4 D5/(k-g) P4 2/(.1-) 2 Step 3: Find P by discounting D1, D2, D3, D4 to present. In this case, D1 D2 D3, so we only need to discount D4 and P4 2. 2 P + 15 4 4 (1 +.1) (1 +.1) 5. If two firms have the same current dividend and the same expected growth rate, their stocks must sell at the same current price or else the market will not be in equilibrium. a. True. b.
