Assume that you are in a perfect Modigliani-Miller world (no taxes, no bankruptcy costs, etc.). A firm has pledged to pay a $10 dividend per share every year, forever. Its cost of equity is 10 percent. You are considering whether to buy the share today at the current market price, receive the next dividend (which is due tomorrow), and sell the share in exactly a year from today. What do you expect your return on this strategy to (approximately) be? Group of answer choices 9 percent 11 percent 10 percent 20 percent 5 percent
One of the options is Delta Airlines. They have paid an annual divendend of $3.98 for the past 25 years and we expect them to continue this indefinetly. Assuming the market requires a(n) 12.0% return Delta, what is the value of a share of stock? (Answer with 2 decimals.) And what if we assumed they would start increasing their divendend by 2.5% per year? What would be a fair price in that scenario? (Answer with 2 decimals.)
You are evaluating the purchase of Bell, Inc. common stock that just paid a dividend of $4.60. You expect the dividend to grow at a rate of 10% for the next four years. You plan to hold the stock for four years and then sell it. You estimate the price of the company’s stock to rise to $59.37 at the end of your four-year holding period. A required rate of return of 13% will be adequate compensation for this investment. Given your assumptions, what is the current value of Bell stock? Round to the nearest $0.01 (allow a couple of pennies of rounding). answer is 53.62

1.a Company A is reviewing an acquisition of Company B, which is currently in an intensive investment phase and will not change its dividend policy for the next 4 years. An annual $2.00 dividend is paid by Company B. Four years later, Company B should enjoy the benefits of investment and the dividends are expected to grow by 30% annually for 3 more years. After that, dividend will stabilize at 2% growth per year forever. If the proper discount rate for company of similar risk level should be 11% per year, what is the fair price of Company B's share (to 2 decimal places) ? Show your workings clearly. b. Explain the result if the growth rate is equal to, or greater than the market rate of return. What exactly is the market rate of return? c. P/Es (Price Earning ratios) do not really indicate anything about a company. Explain.
You strongly believe that the price of Breener Inc. stock will rise substantially from its current level of $137, and you are considering buying shares in the company. You currently have $13,700 to invest. As an alternative to purchasing the stock itself, you are also considering buying call options on Breener stock that expire in three months and have an exercise price of $140. These call options cost $10 each. a. Compare and contrast the size of the potential payoff and the risk involved in each of these alternatives. b. Calculate the three-month rate of return on both strategies assuming that at the option expiration date Breener's stock price has (1) increased to $155 or (2) decreased to $135. c. At what stock price level will the person who sells you the Breener call option break even? Can you determine the maximum loss that the call option seller may suffer, assuming that he does not already own Breener stock?
