CALCULATING THE WACC Here is the condensed 2019 balance sheet for Skye Computer Company (in thousands of dollars): Skyes earnings per share last year were 3.20. The common stock sells for 55.00. last years dividend (D0) was 2.10, and a flotation cost of 10% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Skyes preferred stock pays a dividend of 3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for 30.00 per share. The firms before-lax cost of debt is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firms currently outstanding 10% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 5%, the risk-free rate is 6%, and Skyes beta is 1.516. The firms total debt, which is the sum of the companys short-term debt and long-term debt, equals 1.2 million. a. Calculate the cost of each capital component, that is, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, the cost of equity from retained earnings, and the cost of newly issued common stock. Use the DCF method to find the cost of common equity. b. Now calculate the cost of common equity from retained earnings, using the CAPM method. c. What is the cost of new common stock based on the CAPM? (Hint: Find the difference between r1 and rs as determined by the DCF method, and add that differential to the CAPM value for rs.) d. If Skye continues to use the same market-value capital structure, what is the firms WACC assuming that (1) it uses only retained earnings for equity and (2) if it expands so rapidly that it must issue new common stock?
Thress Industries just paid a dividend of 1.50 a share (i.e., D0 = 1.50). The dividend is expected to grow 5% a year for the next 3 years and then 10% a year thereafter. What is the expected dividend per share for each of the next 5 years?
Conroy Consulting Corporation (CCC) has a current dividend of D0 = $2.5. Shareholders require a 12% rate of return. Although the dividend has been growing at a rate of 30% per year in recent years, this growth rate is expected to last only for another 2 years (g0,1 = g1,2 = 30%). After Year 2, the growth rate will stabilize at gL = 7%. What is CCC’s stock worth today? What is the expected stock price at Year 1? What is the Year 1 expected (1) dividend yield, (2) capital gains yield, and (3) total return? What is its expected dividend yield for the second year? The expected capital gains yield? The expected total return?
Calculation of gL and EPS Spencer Suppliess stock is currently selling for 60 a share. The firm is expected to earn 5.40 per share this year and to pay a year-end dividend of 3.60. a. If investors require a 9% return, what rate of growth must be expected for Spencer? b. If Spencer reinvests earnings in projects with average returns equal to the stocks expected rate of return, then what will be next years EPS? [Hint: gL = ROE Retention ratio.)
Start with the partial model in the file Ch07 P27 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbook’s Web site. Hamilton Landscaping’s dividend growth rate is expected to be 30% in the next year, drop to 15% from Year 1 to Year 2, and drop to a constant 5% for Year 2 and all subsequent years. Hamilton has just paid a dividend of $2.50, and its stock has a required return of 11%. What is Hamilton’s estimated stock price today? If you bought the stock at Year 0, what are your expected dividend yield and capital gains for the upcoming year? What are your expected dividend yield and capital gains for the second year (from Year 1 to Year 2)? Why aren’t these the same as for the first year?
Return on Common Stock You buy a share of The Ludwig Corporation stock for $21.40. You expect it to pay dividends of $1.07, $1.1449, and $1.2250 in Years 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and you expect to sell it at a price of $26.22 at the end of 3 years. Calculate the growth rate in dividends. Calculate the expected dividend yield. Assuming that the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to obtain the expected total rate of return. What is this stock’s expected total rate of return (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return)?
Assume that IWT has completed its IPO and has a $112.5 million capital budget planned for the coming year. You have determined that its present capital structure (80% equity and 20% debt) is optimal, and its net income is forecasted at $140 million. Use the residual distribution approach to determine IWT’s total dollar distribution. Assume for now that the distribution is in the form of a dividend. Suppose IWT has 100 million shares of stock outstanding. What is the forecasted dividend payout ratio? What is the forecasted dividend per share? What would happen to the payout ratio and DPS if net income were forecasted to decrease to $90 million? To increase to $160 million? In general terms, how would a change in investment opportunities affect the payout ratio under the residual distribution policy? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the residual policy? (Hint: Don’t neglect signaling and clientele effects.)
