Answer:

Jim Busby and Bonds of Disk Storage Systems

The new price of the bond is:

= $21,059

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quoted price of bond = $1,180

Face value of bond = $1,000

Coupon interest rate = 14%

Bond's maturity period = 25 years

Current yield to maturity = 12%

Therefore, new price of the bond is computed as follows:

Bond Price = C* (1-(1+r)-n/r ) + F/(1+r)n

where C = Periodic coupon payment = $140 ($1,000 * 14%)

• F = Face / Par value of bond = $1,000

• r = Yield to maturity (YTM) = 12% and

• n = No. of periods till maturity = 25 years

= $140 * (1 – (1+0.12)^-25)/0.12 +$1000/(1+0.12)^25

= $140 * (1 - -17.00)/0.12 + $1,000/17.00

= $140 * (18.00)/0.12 + $1,000/17.00

= $140 * 150 + $59

= $21,000 + $59

= $21,059

Bouchard Company's stock sells for $20 per share, its last dividend (D0) was $1.00, and its growth rate is a constant 6 percent.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The answer is 11,3%

Explanation:

The cost of common stock is common stockholders’ required rate of return. There are 3 methods to calculate the cost of common stock:

i- Dividend discount model or DMM

ii- Capital asset pricing model or CAPM

iii- Bond yield plus risk premium approach

Because of the information provided by the exercise, the correct method to use is de Dividend discount model.

Knowing the current market price of a stock and the last dividend paid, we can calculate the required rate of return, which is equal to the cost of common stock.

rs=(D1/P0)+g

D1= expected dividend

P0= current market price of the stock

g= dividend’s growth rate

To calculate D1 you need to use the following formula= D0x(1+g)

<u>Using the exercise information:</u>

D1=D0*(1+g)=1*1,06=1,06

P0=20

g=0,06

rs=(1,06/20)+0,06=0,113*100=11,3%
