Step by step solution

01

Definition of Bonds

Bonds are defined as securities issued by a business that requires regular interest payment to its holder. These are debt securities and offer regular income to its holder.

02

Present value of bond under first case – 6% yield to maturity

Presentvalueofbond=CouponAmount×1-11+YieldrateNumverofyearsYieldrate+Amount×11+YieldrateNumverofyears=$100×1-11+0.06200.06+$1000×11+0.0620=$1,147+$312=$1,459

03

Present value of bond under the second case – 9% yield to maturity

Presentvalueofbond=CouponAmount×1-11+YieldrateNumverofyearsYieldrate+Amount×11+YieldrateNumverofyears=$100×1-11+0.09200.09+$1000×11+0.0920=$912.9+$178=$1,090.90

04

Present value of bond under the third case – 13% yield to maturity

Presentvalueofbond=CouponAmount×1-11+YieldrateNumverofyearsYieldrate+Amount×11+YieldrateNumverofyears=$100×1-11+0.13200.13+$1000×11+0.1320=$7,02.5+$87=$789.50

How does the modified internal rate of return include concepts from both the traditional internal rate of return and the net present value methods? (LO12-4)

With inflation, what are the implications of using LIFO and FIFO inventory methods? How do they affect the cost of goods sold?

Question:Stagnant Iron and Steel currently pays a $12.25 annual cash dividend (D0). The company plans to maintain the dividend at this level for the foreseeable future as no future growth is anticipated. If the required rate of return by common stockholders (Ke) is 18 percent, what is the price of the common stock?

Mel Thomas, the chief financial officer of Preston 91Ó°ÊÓ, has been asked to do an evaluation of Dunning Chemical Company by the president and chair of the board, Sarah Reynolds. Preston 91Ó°ÊÓ was planning a joint venture with Dunning (which was privately traded), and Sarah and Mel needed a better feel for what Dunning’s stock was worth because they might be interested in buying the firm in the future.

Dunning Chemical paid a dividend at the end of year one of \(1.30, the anticipated growth rate was 10 percent, and the required rate of return was 14 percent.

a. What is the value of the stock based on the dividend valuation model (Formula 10-8)?

b. Indicate that the value you computed in part a is correct by showing the value of D1, D2, and D3 and by discounting each back to the present at 14 percent. D1 is \)1.30, and it increases by 10 percent (g) each year. Also discount the anticipated stock price at the end of year three back to the present and add it to the present value of the three dividend payments.

The value of the stock at the end of year three is: P3 5 D4 _____ Ke 2 g D4 5 D3 (1 1 g)

If you have done all these steps correctly, you should get an answer approximately equal to the answer in part a.

c. As an alternative measure, you also examine the value of the firm based on the price-earnings (P/E) ratio times earnings per share. Since the company is privately traded (not in the public stock market), you will get your anticipated P/E ratio by taking the average value of five publiclytraded chemical companies. The P/E ratios were as follows during the time period under analysis:

P/E Ratio

Dow Chemical .................. 15

DuPont ............................. 18

Georgia Gulf ..................... 7

3M .................................... 19

Olin Corp .......................... 21

Assume Dunning Chemical has earnings per share of \(2.10. What is the stock value based on the P/E ratio approach? Multiply the average P/E ratio you computed times earnings per share. How does this value compare to the dividend valuation model values that you computed in parts a and b?

d. If in computing the industry average P/E, you decide to weight Olin Corp. by 40 percent and the other four firms by 15 percent, what would be the new weighted average industry P/E? (Note: You decided to weight Olin Corp. more heavily because it is similar to Dunning Chemical.) What will the new stock price be? Earnings per share will stay at \)2.10.

e. By what percent will the stock price change as a result of using the weighted average industry P/E ratio in part d as opposed to that in part c?

Question:Surgical Supplies Corporation paid a dividend of $1.12 per share over the last 12 months. The dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5 percent over the next three years (supernormal growth). It will then grow at a normal, constant rate of 7 percent for the foreseeable future. The required rate of return is 12 percent (this will also serve as the discount rate).

a. Compute the anticipated value of the dividends for the next three years (D1, D2, and D3).

b. Discount each of these dividends back to the present at a discount rate of 12 percent and then sum them.

c. Compute the price of the stock at the end of the third year (P3).

P3 = D4/ (Ke - g)

d. After you have computed P3, discount it back to the present at a discount rate of 12 percent for three years.

e. Add together the answers in part b and part d to get the current value of the stock. (This answer represents the present value of the first three periods of dividends plus the present value of the price of the stock after three periods.)
