  • Catapult Company has a current book value of $35 per share. As the result of an innovative product, the company earned an ROE of 14 percent. An analyst studying Catapult has estimated that the 14 percent ROE will continue for the next three years. At that point, he is uncertain what will happen to ROE, but he does observe that prior to last year, the share price was at a persistent 10 percent premium over book value, and he assumes this will be the case at the end of his three-year forecast. However, management has maintained an average market value over book value of 30 percent. The firm has a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent and the analyst estimates the cost of equity to be 10.2 percent. The intrinsic value per share for Catapult that the analyst will calculate is closest to: A. $49.00   B. $47.00   C. $50.00

    Bartman Industries' and Reynolds Inc.'s stock prices and dividends, along with the Winslow 5000 Index, are shown here for the period 2015-2020.  The Winslow 5000 data are adjusted to include dividends. 1.) Use the data to calculate annual rates of return for Bartman, Reynolds, and the Winslow 5000 Index.  Then  calculate each entity's average return over the 5-year period.  (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital gain or loss, and dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that dividends are already included in the index.  Also,  the rates of return for 2015 are not avaiable because 2014 data are not given).   Bartman   Industries   Reynolds Inc.   Winslow 5000   Year Stock Price Dividend Holding period return Stock Price Dividend Holding period return Includes Divs. Holding period return 2020 $17.25 $1.15   $48.75 $3.00   11,663.98   2019 14.75…
