Now calculate the weighted average return based on investment in each portfolio

Expected return = ( Expected return of Assets X x Weight of Asset X ) + ( Expected return of Assets Y x Weight of Asset Y )

Expected return = ( 15.25% x $3000/$10000 ) + ( 9.10% x $7000/$10000 )

In the challenging world of retail sales, Macy's, Inc.'s (M's) revenues are declining while expenses are generally flat. Based o

Papessa [141]

Answer

a) Gordon's Constant Growth model : P0 = D1 / (r-g)

r = 3% =0.03 , g= -7% = -0.07 , D0 = $5.1

D1 = D0*(1+g)

D1 = 5.1*(1-0.07)

D1 = $4.743

P0 = 4.743/(0.03- (-0.07))

P0 = 4.743/0.10

P0 = $47.43

So, Stock M should sell at a price of $47.43 today

b) Price 8 years from now

==> P8 = D9/(r-g)

P8 = D0*(1+g)^9/(r-g)

P8 = 5.1* (1-0.07)^9 / (0.03- (-0.07))

P8 = 5.1*0.52041108298 / (0.03- (-0.07))

P8 = 2.65410

P8 = $26.54
