Answer to Problem 2M
The estimate of stock price is $41.66.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The earnings per share are $3.75, Return on Equity (ROE) is 17%, and the required rate of return is 14%. The earnings per share without the write-off are $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 earnings per share is $0.96, dividend per share is $0.16, and the rate of return is 11.67%. The industry average ROE is 10% and the dividend paid per share in the current year is $0.96 (refer to the previous problem-computed value).
Formula:
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 0.1103 or 11.03%.
Compute the industry retention ratio:
Hence, the industry retention ratio is 0.8897 or 88.97%.
Compute the industry growth rate:
Hence, the industry growth rate of the company is 0.08897 or 8.897%.
Note: The Company has continued to grow at a fast pace in the current five years before the slowdown of the industry growth rate. Compute the total dividends for each of the next 6 years, as a result of the aforementioned growth rate.
Compute the dividend for Year 1:
Hence, the dividend for Year 1 is $1.065.
Compute the dividend for Year 2:
Hence, the dividend for Year 2 is $1.18.
Compute the dividend for Year 3:
Hence, the dividend for Year 3 is $1.31.
Compute the dividend for Year 4:
Hence, the dividend for Year 4 is $1.45.
Compute the dividend for Year 5:
Hence, the dividend for Year 5 is $1.61.
Compute the dividend for Year 6:
Hence, the dividend for Year 6 is $1.78.
Compute the stock price in Year 5:
Hence, the stock price of Year 5 is $64.19.
Compute the stock price:
