CHAPTER 9 PROBLEMS
2. Anle Corporation has a current price of $20, is expected to pay a dividend of $1 in one year, and its expected price right after paying that dividend is $22.
a. What is Anle’s expected dividend yield?
Dividend Yield = Div1 / P0 =
=1/20 =
5.0%
b. What is Anle’s expected capital gain rate?
Capital Gain = (P1 ‐ P0) / P0
= (22 ‐ 20 ) / 20 =
10.0%
c. What is Anle’s equity cost of capital?
Equity Cost of Capital = Div1/P0 + (P1 ‐ P0) / P0 =
15.0%
7. Dorpac Corporation has a dividend yield of 1.5%. Dorpac’s equity cost of capital is 8%, and its dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate.
a. What is the expected growth rate of Dorpac’s dividends?
Div. Yield = 1.5% = Div1 / P0
P0 =Div1 / …show more content…
yield x P0 / P0 g = 8% ‐ 1.5% =
6.5%
Growth rate = g = 6.5%
b. What is the expected growth rate of Dorpac’s share price? rE = Div1 / P0 + (P1 ‐ P0) /P0
(P1 ‐ PO) / P0 = rE ‐ Div1/P0
(P1 ‐ PO) / P0 = rE ‐ Div yield
= 8%‐1.5% =
Growth rate of Dorpac’s share price = 6.5%
