Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 19P
Each of the six firms in the table below is expected to pay the listed dividend payment every year in perpetuity.
| Firm | Dividend ($ million) | Cost of Capital (%/Year) |
| S1 | 10 | 8 |
| S2 | 10 | 12 |
| S3 | 10 | 14 |
| B1 | 100 | 8 |
| B2 | 100 | 12 |
| B3 | 100 | 14 |
- a. Using the cost of capital in the table, calculate the market value of each firm.
- b. Rank the three S firms by their market values and look at how their cost of capital is ordered. What would be the expected return for a self-financing portfolio that went long on the firm with the largest market value and shorted the firm with the lowest market value? (The expected return of a self-financing portfolio is the weighted average return of the constituent securities.) Repeat using the B firms.
- c. Rank all six firms by their market values. How does this ranking order the cost of capital? What would be the expected return for a self-financing portfolio that went long on the firm with the largest market value and shorted the firm with the lowest market value?
- d. Repeat part c but rank the firms by the dividend yield instead of the market value. What can you conclude about the dividend yield ranking compared to the market value ranking?
