Question 11:
The AIA Co. has just paid a dividend of $3.62 per share. The dividends are expected
to grow at 25% per year for the next three years and at the rate of 5% per year
thereafter. If the required rate of return on the stock is 18%(APR), what is the current
value of the stock?
Question 12:
Will Co. is expected to pay a dividend of $2 per share at the end of year -1(D1) and
the dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% forever. If the current price
of the stock is $20 per share calculate the expected return or the cost of equity capital
for the firm.
Question 13:
Super Computer Company's stock is selling for $100 per share today. It is expected
that this stock will pay a dividend of 8.5 dollars per share, and then be sold for $124
per share at the end of one year. Calculate the expected rate of return for the
shareholders.
Question 14: Our company forecasts to pay a $8.33 dividend next year, which
represents 100% of its earnings. This will provide investors with a 15% expected
return. Instead, we decide to plowback 40% of the earnings at the firm’s current return
on equity of 25%. What is the value of the stock before and after the plowback
decision?
