Answer:
c. 11.70 percent
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of preferred stock is shown below:
= Annual dividend ÷ Sale price of preferred stock × (1 - flotation cost)
= $9.35 ÷ $85 × (1 - 6%)
= $9.35 ÷ $79.9
= 11.70%
We ignored the marginal tax rate i.e 30%. In the case of preferred stock, the flotation cost would be deducted. We consider all the things that are given in the question
Answer:
Profit earning ratio of MMC = 10%
Explanation:
Given:
Current stock price = $100
Yearly profit on each share = $10
Profit earning ratio (P\E ratio) =?
Computation of profit earning ratio:
Profit earning ratio (P\E ratio) = Current stock price / Yearly profit on each share
Profit earning ratio (P\E ratio) = $100 / $10
Profit earning ratio (P\E ratio) = 10
It is computed that MMC's Profit earning ratio is nearer to the industry averages P/E ratio so, the investor can wait for some time to purchase this stock.
Answer:
Re = 8.79%
Explanation:
annual growth rates:
($1.38 - $1.25) / $1.25 = 0.104
($1.49 - $1.38) / $1.38 = 0.078
($1.60 - $1.49) / $1.49 = 0.074
($1.69 - $1.60) / $1.60 = 0.056
geometric growth rate = ⁴√(1.104 x 1.078 x 1.074 x 1.056) - 1 = ⁴√1.34976 - 1 = 1.0779 - 1 = 0.0779 = 7.79%
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
$199 = $2 / (Re - 0.0779)
Re - 0.0779 = $2 / $199 = 0.01
Re = 0.01 + 0.0779 = 0.0879 = 8.79%
