Little Oil has 1 million outstanding shares with a total market value of $20 million. The firm is expected to pay $1 million of dividends next year, and thereafter the amount paid out is expected to grow by 5 percent a year in perpetuity. Thus the expected dividend in year 2 is $1.05 million, and so on. However, the company has heard that the value of a share depends on the flow of dividends, and therefore it announces that next year’s dividend will be increased to $2 million and that the extra cash will be raised immediately by a simultaneous issue of new shares. After that, the total amount paid out each year will be as previously forecasted, i.e., $1.05 million in year 2 and increasing by 5 percent a year in each subsequent year. Capital markets are perfect. The discount rate for equity for this company is 10%. a) At what price will the new shares be issued in year 1? b) How many shares will the firm need to issue? c) What will be the expected payments on these new shares,…
Agarwal Technologies was founded 10 years ago. It has been profitable for the last 5 years, but it has needed all of its earnings to support growth and thus has never paid a dividend. Management has indicated that it plans to pay a $0.25 dividend 3 years from today, then to increase it at a relatively rapid rate for 2 years, and then to increase it at a constant rate of 8.00% thereafter.
