The Castle Company recently reported net profits after taxes of $15.8 million. It has 2.5 million shares of common stock outstanding and pays preferred dividends of $1 million a year.

Determine what the stock’s dividend yield would be if it paid $1.75 per share to common stockholders.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Standard Poors 500 (SP 500) indexes are used as measures of overall movement in the stock market The DJIA is based on the price movements of 30 large companies: the SP 500 is an index composed of 500 stocks. Some say the SP 500 is a better measure of stock market performance because it is broader based. The closing price for the DJIA and the SP 500 for 15 weeks, beginning with January 6, 2012, follow (Barrons web site, April 17, 2012). a. Develop a scatter chart for these data with DJIA as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between DJIA and SP 500? b. Develop an estimated regression equation showing how SP 500 is related to DJIA. What is the estimated regression model? c. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 1? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 1 is equal to zero? d. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 0? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 0 is equal to zero? e. How much of the variation in the sample values of SP 500 does the model estimated in part (b) explain? f. Suppose that the closing price for the DJIA is 13,500. Estimate the closing price for the SP 500. g. Should we be concerned that the DJIA value of 13,500 used to predict the SP 500 value in part (f) is beyond the range of the DJIA used to develop the estimated regression equation?
CALCULATING THE WACC Here is the condensed 2019 balance sheet for Skye Computer Company (in thousands of dollars): Skyes earnings per share last year were 3.20. The common stock sells for 55.00. last years dividend (D0) was 2.10, and a flotation cost of 10% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Skyes preferred stock pays a dividend of 3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for 30.00 per share. The firms before-lax cost of debt is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firms currently outstanding 10% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 5%, the risk-free rate is 6%, and Skyes beta is 1.516. The firms total debt, which is the sum of the companys short-term debt and long-term debt, equals 1.2 million. a. Calculate the cost of each capital component, that is, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, the cost of equity from retained earnings, and the cost of newly issued common stock. Use the DCF method to find the cost of common equity. b. Now calculate the cost of common equity from retained earnings, using the CAPM method. c. What is the cost of new common stock based on the CAPM? (Hint: Find the difference between r1 and rs as determined by the DCF method, and add that differential to the CAPM value for rs.) d. If Skye continues to use the same market-value capital structure, what is the firms WACC assuming that (1) it uses only retained earnings for equity and (2) if it expands so rapidly that it must issue new common stock?
