- Kirby Enterprises’s stock is currently selling for $32.45 per share, and the firm expects its per-share dividend to be $2.35 in one year. Analysts project the firm’s growth rate to be constant at 7.27%. Estimating the cost of equity using the discounted cash flow (or dividend growth) approach, what is Kirby’s cost of internal equity? 14.51% 13.78% 18.14% 19.59% Estimating growth rates It is often difficult to estimate the expected future dividend growth rate for use in estimating the cost of existing equity using the DCF or DG approach. In general, there are three available methods to generate such an estimate: • Carry forward a historical realized growth rate, and apply it to the future. • Locate and apply an expected future growth rate prepared and published by security analysts. • Use the retention growth model. Suppose Kirby is currently distributing 75% of its earnings in the form of cash dividends. It has also historically…arrow_forwardXYZ company has just paid a dividend of $1.15. The required rate of return on the stock is 13.4%, and investors expect the dividend to grow at a constant 8% in the future. Calculate the current stock value using the Gordon Constant growth model. [Note: you are supposed to show every step of your calculation and interpret the result.] Evaluate Gordons growth model and explain its limitations and why in certain situations the growth model used in part (a) will create incorrect results? [Note: remember to use Harvard referencing to reference your sources]arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Two firms with the same expected dividend and growth rates must also have the same stock price. b. It is appropriate to use the constant growth model to estimate a stock's value even if its growth rate is never expected to become constant. c. If a stock has a required rate of return rs = 12%, and if its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%, this implies that the stock's dividend yield is also 5%. d. The price of a stock is the present value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the dividend growth rate. e. The constant growth model takes into consideration the capital gains investors expect to earn on a stock.arrow_forward
- Suppose instead that the company is about to pay a dividend of $2.00 per share. You also learn that the company is expected to have net income of $100 million, dividends of $50 million, and total equity of $1.5 billion (and that these relationships are expected to be stable).

Using the DDM approach, what is its cost of common equity? If the firm’s beta is 1.6, the risk-free rate is 9 percent, and the average return on the market is 13 percent, what will be the firm’s cost of common equity using the CAPM approach? If the estimated cost of equity is not the same using the CAPM and DDM approaches, how we can decide on the proper value for cost of equity?
