Answer:

(a) $34.61; 11.54

(b) $32.81; 10.94

Explanation:

(a) Stock Price = D ÷ (Ke – G)

Where,

D is dividend next year,

Ke is required rate of return on equity

G is growth rate

Growth rate = ROE × plow-back ratio

                    = 0.12 × 0.40

                    = 0.048 or 4.8%

Dividend = Current EPS × (1 - plow back ratio)

               = $3 × 0.6

               = $1.8

Stock Price:

= $1.8 ÷ (0.10 - 0.048)

= $34.61

P/E Ratio = Stock Price ÷ EPS

               = $34.61 ÷ $3

               = 11.54

(b) New growth rate = 0.12 × 0.30

                                  = 0.036 or 3.6%

Dividend = Current EPS × (1 - plow back ratio)

               = $3 × 0.7

               = $2.1

Stock Price = $2.1 ÷ (0.10 - 0.036)

                   = $32.81

P/E Ratio = Stock Price ÷ EPS

               = $32.81 ÷ $3

               = 10.94

The Goodsmith Charitable Foundation, which is tax-exempt, issued debt last year at 8 percent to help finance a new playground fa
NeTakaya

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Given that,

Interest at last year debt = 8%

Current year cost of debt = 25% higher

Firms paid for debt last year = 10%

Firms paid for debt in current year = 12.50%

Kd - cost of debt

Yield = Interest at last year debt × (1 + increase in cost of debt)

         = 8% × (1 + 0.25)

         = 8% × 1.25

         = 10%

Kd = Yield (1 – T)

Kd = 10% (1 – 0)

     = 10% (1)

     = 10%

Therefore, after tax cost of debt would be 10%.
