Problem 10.16 projected financial statements for Walmart for Years +1 through +5. The following data for Walmart include the actual amounts for 2012 and the projected amounts for Years +1 through +5 for comprehensive income and common shareholders equity, assuming it will use implied dividends as the financial flexible account to balance the balance sheet (amounts in millions). Assume that the market equity beta for Walmart at the end of 2012 was 1.00. Assume that the risk-free interest rate was 3.0% and the market risk premium was 6.0%. Also assume that Walmart had 3,314 million shares outstanding at the end of 2012, and share price was 69.09. REQUIRED a. Use the CAPM to compute the required rate of return on common equity capital for Walmart. b. Compute the weighted-average cost of capital for Walmart as of the start of Year +1. At the end of 2012, Walmart had 48,222 million in outstanding interest-bearing debt on the balance sheet and no preferred stock. Assume that the balance sheet value of Walmarts debt is approximately equal to the market value of the debt. Assume that at the start of Year +1, it will incur interest expense of 4.2% on debt capital and that its average tax rate will be 32.0%. Walmart also had 5,395 million in equity capital from noncontrolling interests. Assume that this equity capital carries a 15.0% required rate of return. (For our forecasts, we assume noncontrolling interests are similar to preferred shares and receive dividends equal to the required rate of return each year.) c. Use the clean surplus accounting approach to derive the projected dividends for common shareholders for Years +1 through +5 based on the projected comprehensive income and shareholders equity amounts. (Throughout this problem, you can ignore dividends to noncontrolling interests.) d. Use the clean surplus accounting approach to project the continuing dividend to common shareholders in Year +6. Assume that the steady-state long-run growth rate will be 3% in Years +6 and beyond. e. Using the required rate of return on common equity from Requirement a as a discount rate, compute the sum of the present value of dividends to common shareholders for Walmart for Years +1 through +5. f. Using the required rate of return on common equity from Requirement a as a discount rate and the long-run growth rate from Requirement d, compute the continuing value of Walmart as of the beginning of Year +6 based on its continuing dividends in Years +6 and beyond. After computing continuing value, bring continuing value back to present value at the start of Year +1. g. Compute the value of a share of Walmart common stock, as follows: (1) Compute the sum of the present value of dividends including the present value of continuing value. (2) Adjust the sum of the present value using the midyear discounting adjustment factor. (3) Compute the per-share value estimate. h. Using the same set of forecast assumptions as before, recompute the value of Walmart shares under two alternative scenarios. To quantify the sensitivity of your share value estimate for Walmart to these variations in growth and discount rates, compare (in percentage terms) your value estimates under these two scenarios with your value estimate from Requirement g. Scenario 1: Assume that Walmarts long-run growth will be 2%, not 3% as before, and assume that its required rate of return on equity is 1 percentage point higher than the rate you computed using the CAPM in Requirement a. Scenario 2: Assume that Walmarts long-run growth will be 4%, not 3% as before, and assume that its required rate of return on equity is 1 percentage point lower than the rate you computed using the CAPM in Requirement a. i. What reasonable range of share values would you expect for Walmart common stock? Where is the current price for Walmart shares relative to this range? What do you recommend?
Problem 10-86A Stock Dividends and Stock Splits Lance Products balance sheet includes total assets of $587,000 and the following equity account balances at December 31, 2019: Lances common stock is selling for $12 per share on December 31, 2019. Required: How much would Lance Products have reported for total assets and retained earnings on December 31, 2019, if the firm had declared and paid a $15,000 cash dividend on December 31, 2019? Prepare the journal entry for this cash dividend. How much would Lance have reported for total assets and retained earnings on December 31, 2019, if the firm had issued a 15% stock dividend on December 31, 2019? Prepare the journal entry for this stock dividend. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION How much would Lance have reported for total assets and retained earnings on December 31, 2019, if the firm had effected a 2-for-l stock split on December 31, 2019? Is a journal entry needed to record the stock split? Why or why not?
ALTERNATIVE DIVIDEND POLICIES Rubenstein Bros. Clothing is expecting to pay an annual dividend per share of 0.75 out of annual earnings per share of 2.25. Currently, Rubenstein Bros.' stock is selling for 12.50 per share. Adhering to the company's target capital structure, the firm has 10 million in total invested capital, of which 40% is funded by debt. Assume that the firm's book value of equity equals its market value. In past years, the firm has earned a return on equity (ROE) of 18%, which is expected to continue this year and into the foreseeable future. a. Based on this information, what long-run growth rate can the firm be expected to maintain? (Hint: g = Retention rate ROE.) b. What is the stock's required return? c. If the firm changed its dividend policy and paid an annual dividend of 1.50 per share, financial analysts would predict that the change in policy will have no effect on the firm's stock price or ROE. Therefore, what must be the firms new expected long-run growth rate and required return? d. Suppose instead that the firm has decided to proceed with its original plan of dis bursing 0.75 per share to shareholders, but the firm intends to do so in the form of a stock dividend rather than a cash dividend. The firm will allot new shares based on the current stock price of 12.50. In other words, for every 12.50 in dividends due to shareholders, a share of stock will be issued. How large will the stock dividend be relative to the firm's current market capitalist ion? (Hint. Remember that market capitalization = P0 number of shares outstanding.) e. If the plan in part d is implemented, how many new shares of stock will be issued, and by how much will the companys earnings per share be diluted?
QUESTION ELEVENConsider four different stocks, all of which have a required return of 18 percent and a most recent dividend of K4.50 per share. Stocks W, X, and Y are expected to maintain constant growth rates in dividends for the foreseeable future of 10 percent, 0 percent, and 5 percent per year, respectively. Stock Z is a growth stock that will increase its dividend by 20 percent for the next two years and then maintain a constant 12 percent growth rate thereafter. What is the dividend yield for each of these four stocks? What is the expected capital gains yield? Discuss the relationship among the various returns that you find for each of these stocks.
Problem 9-10Cost of Equity The earnings, dividends, and stock price of Shelby Inc. are expected to grow at 3% per year in the future. Shelby's common stock sells for $29.75 per share, its last dividend was $2.00, and the company will pay a dividend of $2.06 at the end of the current year. Using the discounted cash flow approach, what is its cost of equity? Round your answer to two decimal places. % If the firm's beta is 0.6, the risk-free rate is 4%, and the expected return on the market is 13%, then what would be the firm's cost of equity based on the CAPM approach? Round your answer to two decimal places. % If the firm's bonds earn a return of 12%, then what would be your estimate of rs using the over-own-bond-yield-plus-judgmental-risk-premium approach? Round your answer to two decimal places. (Hint: Use the midpoint of the risk premium range.) % On the basis of the results of parts a through c, what would be your estimate of Shelby's cost of equity? Assume Shelby values each…
