Answer:

6.94%

Explanation:

The computation of the company WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)  + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,

Cost of common stock is

= Dividend ÷ Stock price + Growth rate

= $2 ÷ 50 + 5.0%

= 4% + 5%

= 9%

So, the company WACC is                                                                              

= (0.40 × 7%) × ( 1 - 45%) +  (0.60 × 9%)

= 1.54% + 5.4%

 = 6.94%

Hence, the company WACC is 6.94%

Which of the following assumptions would cause the constant growth stock valuation model to be invalid? The growth rate is zero.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

e. None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model

Explanation:

Incomplete question <em>"The constant growth model is given below: P0 = [D0(1 + g)]/[(rs - g)]"</em>

<em />

According to dividend discount model,  

P0 = D1/(R-G)

D1 - Dividend at t =1

R - Required rate

G - Growth rate

This would be invalid if R < G. In other words, Dividend growth model will be invalid in only one situation, that is, when growth rate is more than require return. In this situation growth model cannot be used.
