A limited is considering introducing an executive share option scheme. The scheme would be offered to all middle level managers of the company. It would replace the existing scheme of performance bonuses linked to the post tax earnings per share of the company. Such bonuses in the last year ranged between sh 500,000 and sh 700,000. If the option scheme is introduced, new options are expected to be offered to the managers each year. It is proposed that for the first year, all middle level managers be offered options to purchase 500,000 shares at a price of sh 5.00 per share, after the options have been held for one year.

The company’s shares have a current market price of sh 6.10 per share. The dividend paid was sh 0.25 per share, a level that has remained constant for the last three years. Assume the dividends are…
Catapult Company has a current book value of $35 per share. As the result of an innovative product, the company earned an ROE of 14 percent. An analyst studying Catapult has estimated that the 14 percent ROE will continue for the next three years. At that point, he is uncertain what will happen to ROE, but he does observe that prior to last year, the share price was at a persistent 10 percent premium over book value, and he assumes this will be the case at the end of his three-year forecast. However, management has maintained an average market value over book value of 30 percent. The firm has a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent and the analyst estimates the cost of equity to be 10.2 percent. The intrinsic value per share for Catapult that the analyst will calculate is closest to: A. $49.00 B. $47.00 C. $50.00
