Returns earned over a given time period are called realized returns. Historical data on realized returns is often used to estimate future results. Analysts across companies use realized stock returns to estimate the risk of a stock. Consider the case of Celestial Crane Cosmetics Inc. (CCC): Five years of realized returns for CCC are given in the following table. Remember: 1. While CCC was started 40 years ago, its common stock has been publicly traded for the past 25 years. 2. The returns on its equity are calculated as arithmetic returns. 3. The historical returns for CCC for 2014 to 2018 are: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Stock return 5.00% 3.40% 6.00% 8.40% 2.60% Given the preceding data, the average realized return on CCC's stock is The preceding data series represents historical returns is of CCC's hist If investors expect the average realized return from 2014 to 2018 on CO 15.75% 10.16% 5.08% 12.70% ns.

In practice, a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value the dividends over the next five years or so, then find the terminal stock price using a benchmark PE ratio. Suppose a company just paid a dividend of $1.90. The dividends are expected to grow at 11 percent over the next five years. In five years, the estimated payout ratio is 48 percent and the benchmark PE ratio is 36. a. What is the target stock price in five years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the stock price today assuming a required return of 13 percent on this stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

One year ago, Barkley's stock sold for $28 a share. During last year, Barkley's paid $1.23 per share in dividends and saw its stock price increase by 7 percent for the year. Today, the firm announced that it will pay $1.30 per share in dividends this year. What do you know with certainty about the performance of Barkley's stock for this year? Multiple Choice The capital gains yield will be positive. The dividend yield for this year will be lower than it was last year. The total rate of return will be lower this year than it was last year. The total rate of return will be higher this year than it was last year. The dividend yield for this year will be higher than it was last year.
Your friend Carra is interested in investing in Spark common stocks. She knows that you are taking finance and have learned about stock valuation using historical dividends information. Carra has collected the following dividends data on Spark and asked for your help to calculate the stock price of this company. Use the Constant Growth Dividend model you learned to perform stock valuation for this company. Use the past dividends data to estimate the constant growth rate (it is assumed that the dividends will grow at its historical average growth rate from now onwards) for the dividends. Under the assumption that Spark will continue this dividend pattern forever and Carra wants to earn an annual rate of return of 11% on this investment, what price would Carra be willing to pay for the stock price of this company? What happens to the stock price that Carra would be willing to pay if her required rate of return is 15% (which is greater than 10%)? Briefly interpret your answers.…
The attached file contains hypothetical data for working this problem. Goodman Corporation’s and Landry Incorporated’s stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown in the file. Stock prices are reported for December 31 of each year, and dividends reflect those paid during the year. The market data are adjusted to include dividends. Use the data given to calculate annual returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index, and then calculate average returns over the five-year period. (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital gain or loss, and dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that dividends are already included in the index. Also, you cannot calculate the rate of return for 2015 because you do not have 2014 data.)
