NCH Corporation, which markets cleaning chemicals, insecticides and other products, paid dividends of $2.00 per share in 1993 on

earnings of $4.00 per share. The book value of equity per share was $40.00, and earnings are expected to grow 6% a year in the long term. The stock has a beta of 0.85, and sells for $60 per share. (The treasury bond rate is 7%.). How much would the return on equity have to increase to justify the price/book value ratio at which NCH sells for currently?

Answer:

The reutrn on equity should be of 9.53%

Explanation:

We can solve the return on equity by considering the gordon model of dividend growth:

\frac{divends_1}{return_{equity}-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

current dividends 2 dollars

next year dividends: current x (1 + g) = 2 x (1 + 0.06) = 2.12

\frac{2.12}{return_{equity}-0.06} = 60

\frac{2.12}{60} +0.06= Ke

Ke = 0.09533 = 9.53%

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Cash proceeds is $37,702,607.23  

First premium amortization $214,869.64

Second premium amortization is $225,613.12

First year interest expense is $ 3,759,517.24  

Explanation:

The amount of cash proceeds from the bond issue is the pv of the bond using the pv formula,=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is 10% yield to maturity divided 2 since interest is semi-annual i.e 5%

nper is 5 years multiplied by 2=10

pmt is the semi-annual interest payable by the bond i.e $35,000,000*12%*6/12=$2,100,000

fv is the face value of the bond at $35,000,000

=-pv(5%,10,2100000,35000000)

pv=$37,702,607.23  

The amount of premium to be amortized in first semi-annual interest payment:

Interest expense=$$37,702,607.23*10%/2=$1,885,130.36  

coupon interest=$35,000,000*12%/2=$2,100,000

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36  

premium amortized=$214,869.64  

The amount of premium to be amortized in second semi-annual interest payment:

interest expense=($37,702,607.23+$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36)*10%/2

                           =$1,874,386.88  

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,874,386.88

premium amortized=$225613.12

Bond expense for the first payment= 37,702,607.23*10%/2  

                                                           =$1,885,130.362

Bond expense for the first payment=  37,487,737.59  *10%/2  

                                                           =$ 1,874,386.88  

First year bond interest expense= 1,874,386.88+1,885,130.362  

                                                      =$ 3,759,517.24
