Chapter 18, Problem 14P

Amarindo, Inc. (AMR), is a newly public firm with 10 million shares outstanding. You are doing a valuation analysis of AMR. You estimate its free cash flow in the coming year to be $15 million, and you expect the firm's free cash flows to grow by 4% per year in subsequent years. Because the firm has only been listed on the stock exchange for a short time, you do not have an accurate assessment of AMR’s equity beta. However, you do have beta data for UAL, another firm in the same industry:

Little Oil has 1 million outstanding shares with a total market value of $20 million. The firm is expected to pay $1 million of dividends next year, and thereafter the amount paid out is expected to grow by 5 percent a year in perpetuity. Thus the expected dividend in year 2 is $1.05 million, and so on. However, the company has heard that the value of a share depends on the flow of dividends, and therefore it announces that next year’s dividend will be increased to $2 million and that the extra cash will be raised immediately by a simultaneous issue of new shares. After that, the total amount paid out each year will be as previously forecasted, i.e., $1.05 million in year 2 and increasing by 5 percent a year in each subsequent year. Capital markets are perfect. The discount rate for equity for this company is 10%. a)  At what price will the new shares be issued in year 1? b)  How many shares will the firm need to issue? c)  What will be the expected payments on these new shares,…
Simpkins Corporation does not pay any dividends because it is expanding rapidly and needs to retain all of its earnings. However, investors expect Simpkins to begin paying dividends, with the first dividend of $1.75 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 55% per year - during Years 4 and 5. After Year 5, the company should grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. If the required return on the stock is 14%, what is the value of the stock today (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
