However, securities analysts speculated that Encorecould not keep up the pace. They warned that competition is fierce in the fashionindustry and that the firm might encounter little or no growth in the future. Theyestimated that stockholders also should expect no growth in future dividends.Contrary to the conservative securities analysts, Jordan Ellis felt that the com-pany could maintain a constant annual growth rate in dividends per share of 6% inthe future, or possibly 8% for the next 2 years and 6% thereafter. Ellis based hisestimates on an established long-term expansion plan into European and LatinAmerican markets. Venturing into these markets was expected to cause the risk ofthe firm, as measured by the risk premium on its stock, to increase immediately from8.8% to 10%. Currently, the risk-free rate is 6%.In preparing the long-term financial plan, Encore's chief financial officer hasassigned a junior financial analyst, Marc Scott, to evaluate the firm's current stockprice. He has asked Marc to consider the conservative predictions of the securitiesanalysts and the aggressive predictions of the company founder, Jordan Ellis.Marc has compiled these 2012 financial data to aid his analysis:Data item2012 valueEamings per share (EPS)Price per share of common stockBook value of common stock equityTotal common shares outstanding$6.25$40.00$60,000,0002,500,000Common stock dividend per share$4.00TO DOa.

Tanrun Inc. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $0.45 per share in one year. Analysts expect the firm's dividends to grow by 4% forever. Its stock price is $38.8 and its beta is 1. The risk-free rate is 2% and the expected market risk premium is 4.5%. What is the best guess for the cost of equity? Recall that both Dividend Growth Model and CAPM can be used to find cost of equity. Here assume the best guess is the simple average of the two.
Assume that you are a consultant to Broske Inc., and you have been provided with the following data: the next expected dividend is $0.67; the current market price is $42.50 and the constant growth rate for the dividends is 8.00% Based on the information given what is the cost of equity?
An analyst produces the following series of annual dividend forecasts for company D: Expected dividend (end of) year t+1 = 10 euros; Expected dividend (end of) year t+2 = 20 euros; Expected dividend (end of) year t+3 = 10 euros. The analyst further expects that company D dividend will grow indefinitely at a rate of 2 percent after year t+3. Company D cost of equity equals 10 percent. Under these assumptions, calculate the analysts estimate of company D equity value at the end of year t.

Suppose that Do = $1.00 and the stock's last closing price is $15.85. It is expected that earnings and dividends will grow at a constant rate of g = 3.50% per year and that the stock's price will grow at this same rate. Let us assume that the stock is fairly priced, that is, it is in equilibrium, and the most appropriate required rate of return is rs = 10.00%. The dividend received in period 1 is D1 = $1.00 × (1+0.0350) = $1.04 and the estimated intrinsic value in the same period is based on the D2 constant growth model: P₁: TS-8 Using the same logic, compute the dividends, prices, and the present value of each of the dividends at the end of each period.
