Back to Assignment Attempts 0 Keep the Highest 0/2 5. The Cost of Capital: Cost of New Common Stock If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. There are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. The first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. Because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected rate of return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. The second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: Cost of equity from new stock r D IP-Fi +6 The difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment.

8. Nonconstant growth stock Aa Aa As companies evolve, certain factors can drive sudden growth. This may lead to a period of nonconstant, or variable, growth. This would cause the expected growth rate to increase or decrease, thereby affecting the valuation model. For companies in such situations, you would refer to the variable, or nonconstant, growth model for the valuation of the company's stock. Consider the case of Portman Industries: Portman Industries just paid a dividend of $3.12 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 20.00% over the next year. After the next year, though, Portman's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.00% per year. The risk-free rate (rRF) is 5.00%, the market risk Value Term premium (RPM) is 6.00%, and Portman's beta is 1.90. Dividends one year from now (D1) Horizon value (P1) Assuming that the market is in equilibrium, use the Intrinsic value of Portman's stock information…
7. More on ratio analysis Analysts and investors often use return on equity (ROE) to compare profitability of a company with other firms in the industry. ROE is considered a very important measure, and managers strive to make the company’s ROE numbers look good. If a firm takes steps that increase its expected future ROE, its stock price will increase. Based on your understanding of the uses and limitations of ROE, a rational investor is likely to prefer an investment option that has: High ROE and high risk High ROE and low risk Suppose you are trying to decide whether to invest in a company that generates a high expected ROE, and you want to conduct further analysis on the company’s performance. If you wanted to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, you would: Compare the firm’s financial ratios for the current year with its ratios in previous years Compare the firm’s financial ratios with other firms in the industry for…
If the Modigliani and Miller hypothesis about dividends is correct, and if one found a group of companies which differed only with respect to dividend policy, which of the following statements would be most correct? Group of answer choices None of these statements is true. All of these statements are true. The total expected return, which in equilibrium is also equal to the required return, would be higher for those companies with lower payout ratios because of the greater risk associated with capital gains versus dividends. If the expected total return of each of the sample companies were divided into a dividend yield and a growth rate, and then a scatter diagram (or regression) analysis were undertaken, then the slope of the regression line (or b in the equation D1/P0 = a + b(g)) would be equal to +1.0. The residual dividend model should not be used, because it is inconsistent with the MM dividend hypothesis.

14. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Other things held constant, the higher a firm's target dividend payout ratio, the higher its expected growth rate should be. b. If investors prefer firms that retain most of their earnings, then a firm that wants to maximize its stock price should set a high dividend payout ratio. c. Miller and Modigliani's dividend irrelevance theory says that the percentage of its earnings that a firm pays out in dividends has no effect on its cost of capital, but it does affect its stock price. d. The federal government sometimes taxes dividends and capital gains at different rates. Other things held constant, an increase in the tax rate on dividends relative to that on capital gains would logically lead to a decrease in dividend payout ratios. e. Suppose a firm that has been earning $2 and paying a dividend of $1.00, or a 50% dividend payout, announces that it is increasing the dividend to $1.50. The stock price then jumps from $20 to $30.
