Assume you are using the dividend growth model to value stocks. If you expect the inflation rate to increase, you should also expect: O A. market value of all stocks to remain constant as the dividend growth will offset the increase in inflation. B. stocks that do not pay dividends to decrease in price while dividend paying stocks maintain a constant price. C. market value of all stocks to decrease, all else equal.

Now assume that the stock is currently selling at $30.29. What is its expected rate of return?
Market equity beta measures the covariability of a firms returns with all shares traded on the market (in excess of the risk-free interest rate). We refer to the degree of covariability as systematic risk. The market prices securities so that the expected returns should compensate the investor for the systematic risk of a particular stock. Stocks carrying a market equity beta of 1.20 should generate a higher return than stocks carrying a market equity beta of 0.90. Nonsystematic risk is any source of risk that does not affect the covariability of a firms returns with the market. Some writers refer to nonsystematic risk as firm-specific risk. Why is the characterization of nonsystematic risk as firm-specific risk a misnomer?
the dividend growth model may be use to value a stock v=Do(1+g) k-g a. what is the value of a stock if: Do=$2 k==10% g=6% b. what is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $3 and the other variables remain constant? c. what is the value os this stock if the required return decline to 7.5 percent and the other variables remain constant? d. what is the value of this stock if the growth rate declines to 4 percent and the other variables remin constant? e. what is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $2.30, the growth rate declines to 4 percent, and the required return remains 10 percent?
You live in a world where assets are priced by the CAPM. The following information is given to you regarding stock X. The expected payoff from the stock X=£105.00 Expected return of stock X = 18% Risk-free rate =5% Market Risk Premium = 9% Assume there are no other changes, except that the correlation between the returns of Stock X and the market becomes twice what it is currently. How would this change affect the current price of Stock X? Explain why the change of the correlation causes the observed change in the stock price. [hint: Provide a risk-based explanation]

The dividend-Growth model may be used to value a stock: V= D0 (1+g) / k-g What is the value of a stock if : D0 = $2 k = 10% g = 6% What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $3and the other variables remain constant? What is the value of this stock if the required return declines to 7.5 percent and the other variable remains constant? What is the value of this stock if the growth rate declines to 4 percent and the other variables remain constant? What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $2.30, the growth rate declines to 4 percent, and the required return remains 10 percent?
The dividend yield (i.e. D1/P0) is a good measure of the expected return on a common stock under which of the following circumstances? g = 0 g > 0 g < 0 g is expected to remain constant over time under no circumstances

C. the capital gains yield can never be zero D. the dividend yield can never be negative According to the constant dividend growth model, which of the following is true? A. the constant growth rate is the same as the dividend yield B. The price growth rate is the same as the dividend yield C. the capital gains yield is the same as the constant dividend growth rate D. the dividend yield is the same as the capital gains yield

Assuming the stock market is efficient and the stocks are in equilibrium, which of the following statements is CORRECT? A B Beta 1.20 1.40 Constant growth rate 7.00% 7.00% Group of answer choices Stock B's dividend yield equals its expected dividend growth rate. Stock A could have a higher expected return than Stock B. Stock B must have a higher dividend yield than Stock B. Stock A must have a higher required return than Stock B.. Stock A must have a higher stock price than Stock B

Which of the following statements is CORRECT, assuming stocks are in equilibrium? a. Assume that the required return on a given stock is 13%. If the stock's dividend is growing at a constant rate of 5%, its expected dividend yield is 5% as well. b. A stock's dividend yield can never exceed its expected growth rate. c. A required condition for one to use the constant growth model is that the stock's expected growth rate exceeds its required rate of return. d. Other things held constant, the higher a company's beta coefficient, the lower its required rate of return. e. The dividend yield on a constant growth stock must equal its expected total return minus its expected capital gains yield.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a stock has a required rate of return rs = 12% and its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%, this implies that the stock's dividend yield is also 5%. b. The stock valuation model, P0 = D1/(rs − g), can be used to value firms whose dividends are expected to decline at a constant rate, i.e., to grow at a negative rate. c. The price of a stock is the present value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the dividend growth rate. d. The constant growth model cannot be used for a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time. e. The constant growth model is often appropriate for evaluating start-up companies that do not have a stable history of growth but are expected to reach stable growth within the next few years.
