Constant-growth DCF formula The constant-growth DCF formula:
is sometimes written as:
where BVPS is book equity value per share, b is the plowback ratio, and ROE is the ratio of earnings per share to BVPS. Use this equation to show how the price-to-book ratio varies as ROE changes. What is price-to-book when ROE = r?

- D3) When firms increase their debt-equity ratio, we find: Group of answer choices The ROE always falls. The EPS always rises. Swings in return of equity (ROE) are smaller. Swings in earnings per share (EPS) are magnified.arrow_forwardYou forecast to have a ROE of 14%, and dividend payout ratio of 12%. Currently the company has a price of $30 and $7 earnings per share. What is the PEG ratio based on market price?arrow_forwardStormy Weather has no attractive investment opportunities. Its return on equity equals the discount rate, which is 5%. Its expected earnings this year are $4 per share. Complete the following table. Plow Back Ratio Growth Rate Stock Price P/E Ratio a. 0 b. .20 c. .80arrow_forward
- The market price of an equity share with face value of Rs 10 is Rs 35, with ROI of 24% and cost of capital of 18%, what will be the Dividend payout ratio?(Use Walter model) a. 10% b. 25% c. 0% d. Cannot be determinedarrow_forwardYou forecast the company A’s future earning is going to be $5.34 per share. The current market price is $55. What the market forward PE ratio? The estimated growth rate is 10%, what is the PEG ratio based on your estimate of growth rate? The industry average has a P/E ratio of 14 and growth rate of 12%, what does it mean for A’s stock price?arrow_forwardSuppose rRF = 6%, rM = 10%, and bi = 1.8. What is ri, the required rate of return on Stock i? Round your answer to one decimal place. % 1. Now suppose rRF increases to 7%. The slope of the SML remains constant. How would this affect rM and ri? Both rM and ri will remain the same. Both rM and ri will increase by 1 percentage point. rM will remain the same and ri will increase by 1 percentage point. rM will increase by 1 percentage point and ri will remain the same. Both rM and ri will decrease by 1 percentage point. 2. Now suppose rRF decreases to 5%. The slope of the SML remains constant. How would this affect rM and ri? Both rM and ri will remain the same. Both rM and ri will decrease by 1 percentage point. rM will decrease by 1 percentage point and ri will remain the same. rM will remain the same and ri will decrease by 1 percentage point. Both rM and ri will increase by 1 percentage point. 1. Now assume that rRF remains at 6%, but rM increases to 11%.…arrow_forward
- A. CALCULATE the cost of equity capital of H Ltd., whose risk-free rate of return equals 10%. The firm's beta equals 1.75 and the return on the market portfolio equals to 15%. B. The current ratio of H Ltd is 5:1 and standard current ratio given by accounting bodies is 2:1? Do you think that H Ltd should try to reduce its current ratio?arrow_forwardThe dividend growth model I. assumes that dividends increase at a constant rate forever. II. can be used to compute a stock price at any point in time. III. can be used to value zero-growth stocks. IV. requires the growth rate to be less than the required return.arrow_forwardUsing the constant dividend growth model for valuing common stock, if R goes down, A) P0 will go down. B) P0 will go uparrow_forward
- The dividend growth model CANNOT be used in which of the following? a. When dividends are expected to grow every year. b. When the payout ratio is constant.c. When dividends are expected to grow every quarter. d. When the payout is greater than the amount earned.arrow_forwardTodaytime drop has a divided yield of 2.5%. Todaytime's equity cost of capital is 10%, and its dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate. Based on this information, Todaytimes constant growth rate in dividends is closest to: A. 2.5% B. 5.0% C. 10.0% D. 7.5%arrow_forwardWhat is the required rate of return on a share whose value is Kshs 62.50, its upcoming dividend is Kshs 5 and the growth rate is 4%?arrow_forward
