Chapter 9, Problem 33QP
Growth Opportunities The Stambaugh Corporation currently has earnings per share of $8.20. The company has no growth and pays out all earnings as dividends.

The project is only a two-year project, and it will increase earnings in the two years following the investment by $2.75 and $3.05, respectively. Investors require a return of 12 percent on Stambaugh stock.

- c. Again, assume the company undertakes the investment. What will the price per share be four years from today?

The dividend should grow rapidly at a rate of 50% per year -during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 8% per year. If the required return on Microtech is 15% what is the value of the stock today?
Trident Inc.’s current business generates a constant stream of earnings per share of $5 currently, if no new investment is under Suppose the management will retain 40% of its earnings at Year 1, and invest the retained earnings in a project. For each dollar invested, the new investment will generate a return of 30% per year for only the next three years (Year 2, 3, and 4). Then the new project will end. The discount rate is 10%.
Calculate the new stock price using the NPVGO model.
Suppose you are the company’s CEO, who can change the scale of investment for the new project. How much earnings would you retain and invest at Year 1, if your goal is to maximize all shareholders’ value? Explain.
