Upton Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at 20 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 8 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $1.45, what is the current share price

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$71.03

Explanation:

To find the current share price we need to find the value of future dividends first and then discount it by the given rate of return

DATA

Growth rate = g = 20%

Time period = 3 years

Required return = 11%

Current dividend = Do = $1.45

Share price =?

Solution

Future dividend = Current dividend ( 1 + growth rate)

D1 = (1.45 x 1.20) = $1.74

D2 = (1.74 x 1.20) = $2.088

D3 = (2.088 x 1.20) = $2.5056

Value after year 3 = (D3 x Growth rate) / (Required return-Growth rate)

Value after year 3 = (2.5056*1.08) / (0.11-0.08)

Value after year 3 =$90.2

current share price = Future dividends x Present value of discounting factor

current share price = (1.74/1.11)+($2.088/1.11^2)+(2.5056/1.11^3)+($90.2/1.11^3)

current share price =  1.56 + 1.69 + 1.83 + 65.95

current share price =$71.03

Internal rate of return method The internal rate of return method is used by Testerman Construction Co. in analyzing a capital expenditure proposal that involves an investment of $149,630 and annual net cash flows of $45,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the question below. Open spreadsheet Determine the internal rate of return for the proposal.

Answers

Answer:

Testerman Construction Co.

Internal rate of return method in analyzing capital expenditure:

Present value of expenditure = $149,630

Present of cash inflows annuity = $149,630 (using 20% discount rate and present value annuity factor of 3.3251 x $45,000)

NPV = $0 (PV of cash outflow - PV of cash inflow)

Therefore, the IRR = 20%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Investment cost = $149,630

Annual net cash flows = $45,000

Investment period = 6 years

Annuity of future cash flows = 3.3251

b) Testerman’s IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is a capital budgeting and analysis tool which determines the discount rate that makes the present value of future inflows equal to the present value of outflows from a project.  This IRR helps the managers to determine the projects that add value and are worth undertaking.  IRR is based on assumptions.  Similar projects with the same IRR will differ in returns due to the differences in timing and the size of the cash, the amount of debts and equity used  to generate the returns, and the assumption of a constant reinvestment may which IRR makes.

A customer buys a new issue municipal bond with a dated date of January 1st, settling on February 1st. The first interest payment is due March 1st. How many days of accrued interest must the customer pay to the underwriter

Answers

Answer: 30 days

Explanation:

The accrued interest is to be paid for the period beginning from the date of issue till the date of settlement. However, the date of settlement is not included which means interest will not be paid for the 1st of February.

That leave the 31 days of January for payment. With Municipal Bonds however, accrued interest is calculated assuming only 30 days in a month so January will have 30 days in terms of accrued interest.

30 days is the number of days that accrued interest must be paid to the underwriter.

A developer is proposing to build and operate an 8 store strip mall. Each unit would rent for $3,500 per month. It is expected that vacancy would run at 15% and that the expenses would be 17.5%. The loan is to be 75% of the capitalized value. The developer has an MARR of 12.5%, the bank is charging 8.5% interest, and the Long Term Debt Service is a constant 9%. To assess the financial worth of this endeavor, determine the following:

a. CAP Rate
b. Capitalized value
c. Loan amount
d. Debt Service Coverage Ratio
e. Loan per unit

Answers

Answer:

Requirement A: CAP Rate is 12.5%

Requirement B: Capitalized Value of the Property is $1,884,960

Requirement C: Loan Amount is $1,413,720

Requirement D: Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 1.85

Requirement E: Loan per unit is $176,715 Per Unit

Explanation:

Requirement A: Find the CAP Rate

The CAP Rate will be calculated using the following formula:

CAP Rate = Annual Net Operating Income (NOI) (Step1) / Property Capitalized Value (Step2)

Here

Operating Income is $235,620 (Step1)

Property Capitalized Value (Step2)

Now, by putting values we have:

CAP Rate = $235,620 / $1,884,960 = 12.5%

Step1: Find Annual Net Operating Income (NOI)

As we know that:

Operating Income = Expected Revenue - Operating Expense

Here

Expected Revenue from 8 Strip Malls = Rent / Month * 12 Months * (1 - Vacancy Ratio) * 8 Strips Malls

= $3,500 * 12 * (1 - 15%) * 8

= $285,600

Operating Expenses = Expected Revenue * 17.5%

= $285,600 * 17.5% = $49,980

Now by putting value in the above Operating Income equation, we have:

Annual Operating Income = $285,600 - $49,980 = $235,620

Step2: Find Property Capitalized Value (It is also Requirement B)

Property Capitalized Value = Annual Operating Income / Minimum Accepted Rate of Return (MARR)

Here

Annual Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1

MARR is 12.5%

By putting values, we have:

Capitalized Value of the Property = $235,620 / 12.5% = $1,884,960

Requirement C. Find Loan Amount

It is given in the question that the Loan Amount is 75% of Property Capitalized Cost. This implies:

Loan Amount = $1,884,960 * 75% = $1,413,720

Requirement D. Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) = Annual Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service for the Year

Here

Annual Net Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1

Total Debt Service for the Year $127,235 (See Step3 below)

By putting values, we have:

Debt Service Coverage Ratio = $235,620 / $127,235 = 1.85

Step3: Total Debt Service for the year

Total Debt Service for the year = Loan Amount * Debt Service Rate

Here

Loan Amount is $1,413,720

Debt Service Rate is 9%

By putting values, we have:

Total Debt Service for the year = $1,413,720 * 9% = $127,235

Requirement E. Find Loan Amount

We can find loan per unit by simply dividing the loan amount by number of strip mall. Here total number of strip mall are 8. This implies that:

Loan Per Unit = $1,413,720 / 8 Units = $176,715 Per Unit

Answers

Answer:

c. 2.5

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

the price elasticity would not change as a result of the change

A divisional manager receives a bonus based on 10% of the residual income from the division. During the current year, the division reported revenues of $1,000,000 and expenses of $500,000. The division had $2,000,000 in average operating assets. The minimum required rate of return for the division was 15%. What was the amount of the manager's bonus

Answers

Answer:

The amount of the manager's bonus is $20,000

Explanation:

Residual income =  Net income - ( average operating assets * minimum rate of return)

Net income= Revenues - Expenses  = $1,000,000 - $500,000

Net income = $500,000

Residual income = 500,000 - (2,000,000 * 15%)

= 500,000 - $300,000

= $200,000

Managers bonus = $200,000 * 10%

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Wind Turbines

Cash flow in year 0 = $-887,600,

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $280,000

I = 6%

NPV = $82,629.57

IRR = 10%

Cash flow in year 0 =  $-911,100

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $300,000

I = 6%

NPV = $128,431.68

IRR = 12%

present value index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)

Wind Turbines  = 1 + ($82,629.57 /  $887,600) = 1.093

Biofuel Equipment = 1 + ($128,431.68 / $911,100) = 1.141

Company X's current assets increased by $40 million from 2007 to 2008, while the company's current liabilities increased by $25 million over the same period. The cash impact of the change in working capital was:

a. A decrease of $15 million

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price today

Bond X = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92

Bond Y = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

For Bond X

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.09 * 1/2 * 1000 = $45

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 7% * 1/2 = 3.5% or 0.035

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 45 * [( 1 - (1+0.035)^-30) / 0.035]  +  1000 / (1+0.035)^30

Bond Price = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92

For Bond Y

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.07 * 1/2 * 1000 = $35

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 9% * 1/2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Bond Price = 35 * [( 1 - (1+0.045)^-30) / 0.045]  +  1000 / (1+0.045)^30

Bond Price = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11
