You’ve collected the following information from your favorite financial website.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

-9.92%

Explanation:

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
Re = cost of equity = ?
P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%

Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g

Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%

Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%

Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.

Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.

So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.

Number of contracts N = (β × P) ÷ Future values

N = (1.3 × $1500000) ÷ $75000

N = $1950000 ÷ $75000

Number of contracts N = 26

The strategy the investor should follow is to short 26 contracts of September Mini S&P 500 futures.
