Problem Three (15 marks)
You are an analyst in charge of valuing common stocks. You have been asked to value two stocks. The first stock NEWER Inc. just paid a dividend of $6.00. The dividend is expected to increase by 60%, 45%, 30% and 15% per year, respectively, in the next four years. Thereafter, the dividend will increase by 4% per year in perpetuity.
- Calculate NEWER’s expected dividend for t = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The required rate of return for NEWER stock is 14% compounded annually.
- What is NEWER’s stock price?
The second stock is OLDER Inc. OLDER Inc. will pay its first dividend of $10.00 three (3) years from today. The dividend will increase by 30% per year for the following four (4) years after its first dividend payment. Thereafter, the dividend will increase by 3% per year in perpetuity.
- Calculate OLDER’s expected dividend for t = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
The required rate of return for OLDER stock is 16% compounded annually.
- What is OLDER’s stock price?
Now assume that both stocks have a required rate of return of 40% per year compounded annually for the first six years, 25% per year compounded annually for the following five years, then 12% per year compounded annually thereafter.
- What is NEWER’s stock price?
- What is OLDER’s stock price?
(Hint: You may need to forecast more dividends than you did in parts a, and c.)
Note 1: You cannot use the NPV function to immediately value the stocks at time 0, as the required rate of return changes during the forecast period.
Note 2: All calculations should be rounded to the nearest cent. That is two decimal places.
Problem Four (15 marks)
On December 31st, 2004, your grandmother decided to buy a 30-year Government of Canada bond. The bond had a face value of $1,000,000. The annual coupon rate on the bond was 4.40%. Coupons were paid semi-annually. On December 31st, 2004, the yield to maturity on Government of Canada bonds was 3.70% per year. (The term structure of interest rates or yield curve was flat.)
After holding the bond for 20 years, your grandmother decided to sell the bond on December 31st, 2024. Prior to selling the bond, your grandmother received the December 31st, 2024 coupon payment. On December 31st, 2024, the yield to maturity on Government of Canada bonds had increased to 4.10% per year. (The term structure of interest rates or yield curve was flat.)

- How much did your grandmother sell the bond for on December 31st, 2024?
