Rapid Home Testing (RHT) is a publicly traded all-equity financed firm. RHT's cost of capital is 11.85%. Its current earnings per share is $5.26. This EPS is expected to continue indefinitely. RHT has been paying out all its earnings as dividends
It is now year 0, and RHT has just identified a new opportunity to expand its business. This new opportunity allows RHT to invest all of its earnings for 3 years (from year 1 to year 3), starting next year (year 1). Each dollar of new investment will yield a perpetual earnings of 16.04%, starting the following year. (E.g., investing $1 in year 1 will yield payoffs of $0.1604 from year 2 on.) After these 3 years, the competition catches up, driving the return on future investments down to 11.85%, the same as the cost of capital. As a result, RHT will stop making new investments and pay out all its earnings. All cash flows occur at the year end.
Use the above information to answer questions (A) – (E).
What is RHT's share price without the new…

Your analysis shows that the firm’s growth rate will drop from its current pace by 20% each of the next two years, and then you estimate that dividends will continue to grow at the year 2 rate, with the same dividend policy in place, indefinitely. Lastly, your estimate of the required return on the firm’s equity is 12%. Hoffman’s recently published annual report shows the following financial relationships: Assets = 1.4 x Equity Current Assets = 1.7 x Current Liabilities Sales = 1.5 x Assets Net Income = 8% x Sales Dividends = 30% x Net Income Earnings per share (Basic) = $0.80 per share Determine the growth rate of the company for the prior and for each of the next two years.arrow_forward
- Question 5 The Joe Company has experienced a slow (3 percent per year) but steady increase in earnings per share. The firm has consistently paid out an average of 75 percent of each year’s earnings as dividends. The stock market evaluates Joe primarily on the basis of its dividend pay-out because growth prospects are moderate. Joe’s management presents a proposal to the board of directors that would require the investment of RM50 million to build a new plant in the rapidly expanding Ipoh market. The expected annual return on the investment in this plant is estimated to be in excess of 30 percent, more than twice the current company average. To finance this investment, a number of alternatives are being considered. They include the following: a) Finance the expansion with debt. b) Finance the expansion with 50 percent externally generated equity and 50 percent internally generated equity. This alternative would necessitate a dividend cut for this year only. c) Finance the expansion with…arrow_forwardFuturistic Development (FD) generated $2 million in sales last year with assets equal to $5 million.
