Chapter 7, Problem 18PROB
Summary Introduction
PE ratio of the stock is between 28 and 30 from the past 15 years and its earnings per share is $4.
Price to earnings ratio (P/E ratio) or earnings multiplier is another form of valuing a company. It is a relative way of analyzing the value of a stock. P/E ratio is calculated by dividing the current market price of the stock by its earnings per share. Higher P/E ratio indicates that investors are willing to pay more for each dollar of earnings and vice-versa. P/E ratio tells us how long it will take for the investors to recover its investment. A high P/E ratio means it will take longer to recover their amount invested and a low P/E ratio means tat the investment will be recovered faster. Therefore, it is a measure of the payback period of the investment. Moreover, a company with low PE is undervalued and with market correction, the stock price is expected to rise in the future. Similarly, for a very high P/E stocks, price might fall with the market correction, as it is overvalued.

As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value increases by $850 each year. You use an expected investment return of 11% per year compounded semiannually. NOTE: This is a multi-part question.
