This illustrates <u>"benchmarking".</u>

Benchmarking is a procedure of estimating the execution of an organization's items, administrations, or procedures against those of another business thought to be the best in the business, otherwise known as "best in class." The purpose of benchmarking is to distinguish interior open doors for development. By considering organizations with unrivaled execution, separating what makes such prevalent execution conceivable, and after that contrasting those procedures with how your business works, you can actualize changes that will yield huge upgrades.

Cotton On Ltd. currently has the following capital structure: Debt: $3,500,000 par value of outstanding bond that pays annually
jeka57 [31]

Answer and Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Kindly find the incomplete question here

Ordinary shares: $5,500,000 book value of outstanding ordinary shares. Nominal value of each share is $100. The firm plan just paid a $8.50 dividend per share. The firm is maintaining 4% annual growth rate in dividends, which is expected to continue indefinitely.

Preferred shares: 45,000 outstanding preferred shares with face value of $100, paying fixed dividend rate of 12%

The firm's marginal tax rate is 30%.

Required:

a) Calculate the current price of the corporate bond?

b)Calculate the current price of the ordinary share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 9%?

c) Calculate the current price of the preferred share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 10%

The computation is shown below:

a. For the current price of the corporate bond

Before that first we have to determine the after tax yield to maturity i.e

After tax YTM = Before tax YTM × (1 - tax rate)

= 12% × ( 1 - 30%)

= 12% × (1 - 0.3)

= 12% × (0.7)

= 8.4%

Now

Price of bond = Interest × PVIFA(YTM%,n) + Redemption value × PVIF(YTM%,n)

Interest = 1000 × 10% = $100

YTM% = 8.4%

n = 20

PVIFA(YTM%,n) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r)^n ÷ r ]

PVIFA(8.4%,20) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20 ÷ 8.4%]

= [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 0.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]

= [1-(1 ÷ (1.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]

= [1 - 0.1993 ÷  0.084]

= 0.8007 ÷ 0.084

= 9.5327

PVIF(8.4%,20) = 1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20

= 1 ÷ (1.084)^20

= 0.19926

So, the price of bond is

= $100 × 9.5327 + $1000 × 0.19926

= $953.27 + $199.26

= $1,152.52  

b)Price of stock = Dividend of next year ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate )

where,

Growth rate = 4%

Required rate of return = 9%

The Dividend of next year = Dividend paid  × (1 +  growth rate)

= 8.50 × (1 + 4%)

= 8.50 × (1 + 0.04)

= 8.50 × (1.04)

= $8.84

Thus the price of the stock is

= $8.84 ÷ (9% - 4%)

= $8.84 ÷ 5%

= $176.80  

c) Price of preference shares is

= Dividend ÷ Required rate of return

where,

Dividend = 100 × 12% = $12

And, the Required rate of return = 10%

So, the price of preference shares is

= 12 ÷ 10%

= $120

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Option B $1.03

Explanation:

First lets calculate present value = cash flow(PVAF, life, rate) where PVAF = present value annuity factor

= 15(PVAF, 10, 5 years)

from the annuity table

Present value = 15 * 3,790 = $56.8618 million

The decrease in Present value will be  $56.8618 million

Decrease in price = present value/number of share = 56.8618/66 = 1.033851 approx $1.03
