After Year 5, the company should grow at a constant rate of 8% per year. If the required return on the stock is 15%, what is the value of the stock today?
Question 3 You have been asked to value Best Bank, a publicly traded bank that generated $100 million in net income in the most recent year on a regulatory capital base of $1billion (you can assume that this is also the book value of equity) with one billion shares outstanding. Over the next three years, you expect net income to grow 10% a year and regulatory capital (and book equity) to increase 5% a year. a) Estimate the FCFE each year for the next three years. b) At the end of year 3, you expect the bank to be in stable growth, growing 3% a year, while maintaining the return on equity it generated in year 3.

The firm has consistently paid out an average of 75 percent of each year’s earnings as dividends. The stock market evaluates Joe primarily on the basis of its dividend pay-out because growth prospects are moderate.

The expected annual return on the investment in this plant is estimated to be in excess of 30 percent, more than twice the current company average. To finance this investment, a number of alternatives are being considered. They include the following: a) Finance the expansion with debt. b) Finance the expansion with 50 percent externally generated equity and 50 percent internally generated equity. This alternative would necessitate a dividend cut for this year only. c) Finance the expansion with…
