Calculation of gL and EPS Spencer Suppliess stock is currently selling for 60 a share. The firm is expected to earn 5.40 per share this year and to pay a year-end dividend of 3.60. a.

Conroy Consulting Corporation (CCC) has a current dividend of D0 = $2.5. Shareholders require a 12% rate of return. Although the dividend has been growing at a rate of 30% per year in recent years, this growth rate is expected to last only for another 2 years (g0,1 = g1,2 = 30%). After Year 2, the growth rate will stabilize at gL = 7%. What is CCC’s stock worth today? What is the expected stock price at Year 1? What is the Year 1 expected (1) dividend yield, (2) capital gains yield, and (3) total return? What is its expected dividend yield for the second year? The expected capital gains yield? The expected total return?
Return on Common Stock You buy a share of The Ludwig Corporation stock for $21.40. You expect it to pay dividends of $1.07, $1.1449, and $1.2250 in Years 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and you expect to sell it at a price of $26.22 at the end of 3 years. Calculate the growth rate in dividends. Calculate the expected dividend yield. Assuming that the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to obtain the expected total rate of return. What is this stock’s expected total rate of return (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return)?
WACC Estimation On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm’s present market value capital structure, shown here, is considered to be optimal. There is no short-term debt. New bonds will have an 8% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders’ required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so the dividend yield is $1.20/$30 = 4%.) The marginal tax rate is 40%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity? Assuming there is sufficient cash flow for Tysseland to maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC? Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC? No numbers are required to answer this question.
