You have looked at the current financial statements for Reigle Homes, Co. The company has an EBIT of $2,930,000 this year. Depreciation, the increase in net working capital, and capital spending were $229,000, $94,000, and $435,000, respectively. You expect that over the next five years, EBIT will grow at 20 percent per year, depreciation and capital spending will grow at 25 per year, and NWC will grow at 15 per year. The company currently has $15,900,000 in debt and 465,000 shares outstanding. After Year 5, the adjusted cash flow from assets is expected to grow at 3 percent indefinitely. The company’s WACC is 8.3 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent.

What is the price per share of the company's stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

You just bought a car and plan on driving to campus everyday. The university no longer offers free parking because of
the increase of parking needs. You have two options to buy a parking permit. A monthly permit costs $30 (due at the
end of each month), which is a pay-as-you-go plan and you pay every month. However, the auxiliary services offers
a discounted annual permit which only costs $250 (upfront). You may assume that the academic year (12 months)
starts from Sep 1st, and ends on Aug 31st.
(1) If you plan to use the permit for all 12 months of the year, what is your internal rate of return (implicit interest
rate)?
(2) If you are not going to be on campus during the summer break (two months, from Jun 1st to Aug 31st), is
your internal rate of return going to change? If so, how much?
(3) You heard that a partially used annual permit can be sold easily on the black market for $15×number of
remaining months unused, because the parking permit is not associated with the car plate and can be used by any car
in the same class. How this is going to change your internal rate of return?

Chapter 8 - Master it!
In practice, the use of the dividend discount model is refined from the method we presented in the textbook. Many analysts will estimate the dividend for the next 5 years and then estimate a perpetual growth rate at some point in the future, typically 10 years. Rather than have the dividend growth fall dramatically from the fast growth period to the perpetual growth period, linear interpolation is applied. That is, the dividend growth is projected to fall by an equal amount each year. For example, if the high growth period is 15 percent for the next 5 years and the dividends are expected to fall to a 5 percent perpetual growth rate 5 years later, the dividend growth rate would decline by 2 percent each year.
The Value Line Investment Survey provides information for investors. Below, you will find information for IBM found in the 2014 edition of Value Line:
2014 dividend: $               3.95
5-year dividend growth rate: 9.5%
Although Value Line does not provide a perpetual growth rate or required return, we will assume they are:
Perpetual growth rate: 4.0%
Required return: 11.0%
a. Assume that the perpetual growth rate begins 10 years from now and use linear interpolation between the high growth rate and perpetual growth rate. Construct a table that shows the dividend growth rate and dividend each year. What is the stock price at Year 10? What is the stock price today?
b. How sensitive is the current stock price to changes in the perpetual growth rate? Graph the current stock price against the perpetual growth rate in 10 years to find out.
Instead of applying the constant dividend growth model to find the stock price in the future, analysts will often combine the dividend discount method with price ratio valuation, often with the PE ratio. Remember that the forward PE ratio is the current price per share divided by the earnings per share next year. So, if we know what the PE ratio is, we can solve for the stock price. Suppose we also have the following information about IBM:
Payout ratio: 25%
Forward PE ratio at constant growth rate: 15
c. Use the forward PE ratio to calculate the stock price when IBM reaches a perpetual growth rate in dividends. Now find the value of the stock today finding the present value of the dividends during the supernormal growth rate and the price you calculated using the PE ratio.
d.

How sensitive is the current stock price to changes in PE ratio when the stock reaches the perpetual growth rate? Graph the current stock price against the forward PE ratio in 10 years to find out.

a. The dividend growth rates, dividends, and stock price are:
Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Dividend growth:
Dividend:
Present Value of Dividend
Present Value of Terminal Value (stock price in year 10)

Stock Price Today
b. To graph the stock price for different growth rates, we need to calculate the price for various growth rates. Using a one-way data table, we get the following:
Growth rate Stock price
0% Zero Growth Model
1%
2%
3%
4% Constant Growth Model
5%
6%
7%
8%
9%
10%
c. The earnings and price in year 10 will be:
Year 10 PE ratio:
Year 11 earnings:
Year 10 price:
So, the stock price today with this valuation method is:
Price today:
d. Using a one-way data table, the stock price today at different PE ratios is:
PE ratio Stock price

Suppose inflation rate is 6% for the past year. The inflation rate is expected to be 5% in the coming year and 4% per year thereafter. Assume that the real risk free rate r*, will remain at 2% over the next 10 years. The yield on a 5-year Treasury bond is 6.3% and the yield on a 10-year corporate bond is 8.4%. A 5-year corporate bond has the same maturity risk premium as the 5-year Treasury bond described. The 5-year corporate bond also has the same default risk premium and liquidity premium as the 10-year corporate bond described. Given that the maturity risk premium for the 10-year corporate bond is 0.3%, what is the yield on the 5-year corporate bond?

Ans : 8.3%

Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Iguana, Inc., manufactures bamboo picture frames that sell for $30 each. Each frame requires 4 linear feet of bamboo, which costs $3.00 per foot. Each frame takes approximately 30 minutes to build, and the labor rate averages $11 per hour. Iguana has the following inventory policies:

  • Ending finished goods inventory should be 40 percent of next month’s sales.
  • Ending direct materials inventory should be 30 percent of next month’s production.


Expected unit sales (frames) for the upcoming months follow:

March 300
April 300
May 350
June 450
July 425
August 475


Variable manufacturing overhead is incurred at a rate of $0.30 per unit produced. Annual fixed manufacturing overhead is estimated to be $9,600 ($800 per month) for expected production of 4,000 units for the year. Selling and administrative expenses are estimated at $850 per month plus $0.60 per unit sold.


Iguana, Inc., had $12,800 cash on hand on April 1. Of its sales, 80 percent is in cash. Of the credit sales, 50 percent is collected during the month of the sale, and 50 percent is collected during the month following the sale.


Of direct materials purchases, 80 percent is paid for during the month purchased and 20 percent is paid in the following month. Direct materials purchases for March 1 totaled $3,500. All other operating costs are paid during the month incurred. Monthly fixed manufacturing overhead includes $200 in depreciation. During April, Iguana plans to pay $3,500 for a piece of equipment.

Consider the following assets available for investment:

1. A stock index fund

2. A corporate bond fund

3. A utility fund

4. A global fund

5. A treasury fund

You have research on the funds that has projected out the expected returns (in percent) for the funds

along with the probabilities of those returns occurring. The following table shows the expectations:

probability SIF CBF UF GF TF
Rec .15 -18 5 -5 -20 3
N Rec .2 -7 3 -3 -10 3
norm .3 12 6 5 15 3
n boom .2 20 2 10 25 3
boom .15 25 -1 15 35 3

Your assignment is to analyze the risk and return metrics of these assets and answer the following questions:

1. What is the expected return of each asset?

2. What is the standard deviation of each asset?

3. What is the Sharpe Ratio of each asset, using the treasury fund as the risk free asset? (Note, the treasury fund will not have Sharpe ratio because it is the risk free asset)

4. Using the stock index fund as the “market”, what is the Beta of each asset?

5. If you were only going to invest in one of these assets, would it be more appropriate to use standard deviation or Beta as your measure of risk, and why?

6. Which asset, if held as a single investment, gives you the best reward for the risk you have taken?

7. Diagram the Security Market Line (assuming the stock index fund is the market and the treasury fund is the risk free asset), plotting the assets in their appropriate places.

8. Which assets are considered “underpriced” and which are considered “overpriced” based on the SML?
