Answer: U.S Treasury bonds

One of the main risks of investing is the risk of not getting back the amount invested. This risk is called default risk.

Income bonds, preferred stocks and subordinated debentures have default risk since there is no guarantee by the issuing companies that they will repay the principal, and interest or preferred dividends, as the case may be.

However, if an investor holds a U.S treasury bonds until maturity, the government gives a guarantee on the interest payment and principal amount. Hence the U.S treasury bonds are traditionally considered to have the least risk.

However, even U.S. treasury bonds are sensitive to inflation and interest rates.

Indigo Ink Supply paid a dividend of $5 last year on its common stock. It is expected that this dividend will grow at a rate of
pychu [463]

Answer:

a.

1st $5.43

2nd $5.89

3rd $6.39

4th $6.93

5th $7.52

6th $7.81

b.

$75.85

Explanation:

Dividend is the payment to the stockholders out of earning of the company. Companies have a dividend policy which determine the future dividend payments.

Dividend of each year can be calculated by using the growth rate as a discount in the compounding formula.

Dividend Payment

First year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^1 = $5.43

Second year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^2 = $5.89

Third year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^3 = $6.39

Fourth year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^4 = $6.93

Fifth year =$5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^5 = $7.52

Sixth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 3.8% )^1 = $7.81

b.

Intrinsic value of the stock is the present value of all the associated dividends

We need to calculate the present value of all the dividend payment.

First year = $5.43 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-1 =  $4.87

Second year = $5.89 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-2 = $4.74

Third year = $6.39 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-3 = $4.61

Fourth year = $6.93 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-4 = $4.48

Fifth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-5 = $4.36

After fifth year the dividend will be discounted as follow

PV of dividend after fifth year = [ $7.81 / (11.5% - 3.8%) ] x [ (1+11.5%)^-6 ] = $52.79

Intrinsic Value of Stock = Sum of PV of all dividends = $4.87 + $4.74 + $4.61 + $4.48 + $4.36 + $52.79 = $75.85

Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4.01 to $2.57 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior
mina [271]

Answer:

$34.35

The price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.

Explanation:

Computation for the share price to expect after the announcement

Using this formula

Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g

Where,

D1 =$4.01

P0 = $50.07

g =3.4%

Let plug in the formula

Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] +g

Ke= [ $4.01 / $50.07] + 0.034

Ke= 0.0800+ 0.034

Ke= 0.1140

Second step is to find the Price after Expansion using this formula

P0 = D1 / [ Ke - g ]

Where,

D1=$2.57

Ke=0.1140

g=4.7%

Let plug in the formula

P0= $ 2.57 / [ 0.1140 - 0.047 ]

P0=$2.57/0.067

P0=$ 34.35

Based on this calculation, we can see that the price has fallen from $50.07 to $34.35 which means that Expansion will not be a good option.

Therefore the share price that you would expect after the​ announcement will be $34.35
