Explanation:
a. What are the dividend payout ratios for each firm
Dividend payout ratio = Dividend / EPS
• Payout ratio stock A = $1.30 / $2.6 = 0.5= 50%
• Payout ratio stock B = $1.3 / $1.8 = 0.72222 = 72.22%
b. What are the expected dividend growth rates for each stock.
Growth rate = ROE × (1 - dividend payout ratio)
•Growth rate stock A = 0.08 × (1 - 50%) = 0.04 = 4%
• Growth rate stock B = 0.05 × (1 - 72.22%) = 0.01389 = 1.39%
c. What is the proper stock price for each firm
• Stock A
Price = D1 / (Re - g)
D1= $1.30 * (1 + 0.04)
= 1.352
Stock B
Price = D1 / (Re - g)
D1= $1.30 * (1 + 0.013)
= 1.3169
Therefore,
• Stock A's proper price = $1.352 / (0.08 - 0.04) = $33.8
• Stock B's proper price = $1.3169 / ($0.08 - $0.013) = $19.66
Answer:
W = $27.34
Explanation:
Given data:
Percentage Decline in average income is = 2%
CPI in 1990 1.30
CPI in 2000 is 1.69
Average nominal wage is 2000 is $35
Inflation rate is given as
Inflation rate = % Change in CPI
= (1.69 / 1.3) - 1
= 1.3 - 1 = 0.3 = 30%
Real wage = Nominal wage / Price level, hence
Percentage change in real wage = % Change in (nominal wage - inflation rate)
-2% = % Change in nominal wage - 30%
% Change in nominal wage = 28%
let nominal wage in 1990 is w
W\times 1.28% = $35
solving for W = $27.34
