Answer to Problem 2M
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The earnings per share are $3.15, Return on equity (ROE) is 17%, and the required rate of return is 14%. The earnings per share without the write-off is $1.10. The earnings per share of AC Company is $1.30 and NH Company (both are competitors) is $1.95.
The industry average of earning per share is $0.96, dividend per share is $0.18, and the rate of return is 11.67%. The industry average ROE is 9.59% and the dividend paid per share in the current year is $0.90 (Refer the previous problem-computed value).
Formulae:
The formula to calculate the industry (competitor’s) earnings per share:
The formula to calculate the industry payout ratio:
The formula to calculate the industry retention ratio:
The formula to calculate the industry growth rate:
The formula to calculate the total dividends for the next year:
Where,
D1 refers to the expected dividend per share in the next period.
The formula to calculate the stock price in Year 5:
The formula to calculate the current total value of the stock price:
Where,
Po refers to the price of the stock
D1 refers to the expected dividend per share in the next period
R refers to the required rate of return on its stock
grefers to the constant rate of growth
Compute the industry earnings per share:
Hence, the industry earnings per share are $1.45.
Compute the industry payout ratio:
Hence, theindustrypayout ratio is 0.1241 or 12.41%.
Compute the industry retention ratio:
Hence, the industry retention ratio is 0.8759 or 87.59%.
Compute the industry growth rate:
Hence, the industry growth rate of the company is 0.0839 or 8.39%.
Note: The Company has continued to grow at a fastest pace in the current five years before the slowdown of industry growth rate. As a result, compute the total dividends for each of the next 6 years.
Compute the dividend for Year 1:
Hence, the dividend for Year 1 is $1.01.
Compute the dividend for Year 2:
Hence, the dividend for Year 2 is $1.13.
Compute the dividend for Year 3:
Hence, the dividend for Year 3 is $1.27.
Compute the dividend for Year 4:
Hence, the dividend for Year 4 is $1.42.
Compute the dividend for Year 5:
Hence, the dividend for Year 5 is $1.60.
Compute the dividend for Year 6:
Hence, the dividend for Year 6 is $1.79.
Compute the stock price in Year 5:
Hence, the stock price of Year 5 is $54.57.
Compute the stock price:
Hence, the stock price is $35.98.
