Answer:
e. 14.60%
Explanation:
The computation of Oval's cost of new common equity is shown below:-
Price of stock = Estimated dividends for next period ÷ (Required rate of return - Growth rate)
Dividend = $1.50 × (1 + 4%)
= $1.56
Price of stock would be the price net of flotation cost
= $16 × (1 - 8%)
= $14.72
Required rate of return
= (1.56 ÷ 14.72) + 0.04
= 14.60%
Answer:
2 cents
Explanation:
The spot price = $0.7000 = 70 cents, The forward rate = $0.6950 = 69.5 cents and the call option with striking price = $0.6800 = 68.00 cents
The annualized six month rate = 3 1/2 % = 3.5 %, therefore the rate = r/n, where n is the number of period per year = 2. Therefore r/n = 3.5% / 2 = 0.035 / 2 = 0.0175
The minimum price = Maximum (spot price - striking price, (forward rate - striking price) / (1 + 0.0175), 0) = Maximum(70 - 68, (69.5 - 68)/ 0.0175, 0)
Minimum price = Maximum (2 , 1.47, 0) = 2 cents
