Assume Highline Company has just paid an annual dividend of $ 0.92. Analysts are predicting an 10.3 % per year growth rate in earnings over the next five years. After​ then, Highline's earnings are expected to grow at the current industry average of 5.3 % per year. If​ Highline's equity cost of capital is 9.1 % per year and its dividend payout ratio remains​ constant, for what price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Highline stock should​ sell?

Australian corporate bonds can now be issued with the same prospectus as for previous issues, simplifying the process.

As a result, the corporate bonds' yield __________ while the stock of bonds in the financial system ___________.

Nonconstant growth: Tre-Bien, Inc., is a fast-growing technology company. Management projects rapid growth of 30 percent for the next two years, then a growth rate of 17 percent for the following two years. After that, a constant-growth rate of 8 percent is expected. The firm expects to pay its first dividend of $2.45 a year from now. If dividends will grow at the same rate as the firm and the required rate of return on stocks with similar risk is 22 percent, what is the current value of the stock?

Nonconstant growth: Management of ProCor, a biotech firm, forecasted the following growth rates for the next three years: 35 percent, 28 percent, and 22 percent.

If the required rate of return is 20 percent, what is the value of this stock?

3. A property consists of 8 office suites, 3 on the first floor and 5 on the second floor. The contract rents are as follows: 2 suites at $1,800 per month, 1 at $3,600 per month and 5, at $1,560 per month. Annual market rent for all suites increase 3% per year after the first year. Vacancy and collection losses are estimated at 10% of potential gross rent per year. Operating expenses and reserve for replacement or capital expenditures are 45% of effective gross income each year. The expected holding period is 5 years. At the end of the holding period you are expecting to sell the property for $1,180,472.

Using this average cap rate obtained below and the NOI obtained in question A, what is your estimate of value via the direct capitalization approach?

Year 1 Sales

NOI Price   Ro

A 80000 / 919540 = 0.087

B 114000 / 1390244 = 0.082

C 100000 / 1250000 = 0.080

D 72000 / 808989 = 0.089

E 90000 / 1097561 = 0.082

Average = 0.084

3. Bond valuation

The process of bond valuation is based on the fundamental concept that the current price of a security can be determined by calculating the present value of the cash flows that the security will generate in the future.

There is a consistent and predictable relationship between a bond’s coupon rate, its par value, a bondholder’s required return, and the bond’s resulting intrinsic value. Trading at a discount, trading at a premium, and trading at par refer to particular relationships between a bond’s intrinsic value and its par value. This also results from the relationship between a bond’s coupon rate and a bondholder’s required rate of return.

Remember, a bond’s coupon rate partially determines the interest-based return that a bond   pay, and a bondholder’s required return reflects the return that a bondholder   to receive from a given investment.

The mathematics of bond valuation imply a predictable relationship between the bond’s coupon rate, the bondholder’s required return, the bond’s par value, and its intrinsic value. These relationships can be summarized as follows:

For example, assume Amelia wants to earn a return of 9.00% and is offered the opportunity to purchase a $1,000 par value bond that pays a 9.00% coupon rate (distributed semiannually) with three years remaining to maturity. The following formula can be used to compute the bond’s intrinsic value:

Complete the following table by identifying the appropriate corresponding variables used in the equation.

Based on this equation and the data, it is   to expect that Amelia’s potential bond investment is currently exhibiting an intrinsic value equal to $1,000.

Now, consider the situation in which Amelia wants to earn a return of 12%, but the bond being considered for purchase offers a coupon rate of 9.00%. Again, assume that the bond pays semiannual interest payments and has three years to maturity. If you round the bond’s intrinsic value to the nearest whole dollar, then its intrinsic value of    (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) is   its par value, so that the bond is   .

Given your computation and conclusions, which of the following statements is true?

When the coupon rate is less than Amelia’s required return, the bond should trade at a discount.

A bond should trade at par when the coupon rate is less than Amelia’s required return.

When the coupon rate is less than Amelia’s required return, the intrinsic value will be greater than its par value.

When the coupon rate is less than Amelia’s required return, the bond should trade at a premium.
