Question 6. Suppose that the consensus forecast of security analysts of your favorite company is that earnings next year will be $5.00 per share. The company plows back 50% of its earnings and if the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) estimates that the company's return on equity (ROE) is 16%. Assuming the plowback ratio and the ROE are expected to remain constant forever:
Suppose that you are confident that 10% is the required rate of return on the stock.
What does the market price of $50.00 per share imply about the market’s estimate of the company’s expected return on equity? (please give a number)
*Make sure to input all percentage answers as numeric values without symbols, and use four decimal places of precision. For example, if the answer is 6%, then enter 0.0600.

- H5. In practice, a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value the dividends over the next five years or so, then find the “terminal” stock price using a benchmark PE ratio. Suppose a company just paid a dividend of $1.41. The dividends are expected to grow at 13 percent over the next five years. In five years, the estimated payout ratio will be 30 percent and a benchmark PE will be 19. The required return is 11 percent. a) What is the target stock price in five years? b) What is the stock price today?arrow_forwardSupernormal Growth (LO1) Duffs Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a24% ratefor the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 6% thereafter.

Assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. What is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % What is the cost of new common equity considering the estimate made from the three estimation methodologies? Do not round intermediate calculations.

- 13. Stock Valuation. Microtech Corporation is expanding rapidly, and it currently needs to retain all of its earnings, hence it does not pay any dividends, with the first dividend of $1.00 coming 4 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly—at a rate of 40 percent per year—during Years 5 and 6. Then the dividend should grow at a rate of 20 percent per year during Year 7. After Year 7, the company should grow at a constant rate of 4 percent per year.
