If a firm’s earnings per share grew from $1 to $2 over a 10-year period, the total growthwould be 100%, but the annual growth rate would be less than 10%. True or false? Explain.
(Hint: Solve for the interest rate. Make sure you put the PV or FV as a negative number.)
Suppose a firm is expected to increase dividends by 20% in one year and decrease by 12% in two years and then increase by 15% in three years. After that dividends will increase at a rate of 5% per year indefinitely.
The last dividend was $1.55 and the required return is 13%.
a) Compute the dividends until growth levels off.
Ans:
D1 = ?
D2 = ?
D3 = ?
D4 = ?
b) Find the expected future price at the beginning of the constant growth period:
Ans: P3 = ?
c) Find the present value of the expected future cash flows
Ans: P0 = ?
