If a thirty-year standard corporate coupon bond has a coupon rate of 7%, and if the YTM is 6.4% then what would be thequarterly coupons?
Suppose a firm’s stock is selling for $36.70. They just paid a $3.15 dividend and dividends are expected to grow at 4% per year. What is the required return?
The quarterly coupon is computed as follows:
= (Coupon rate / 4) x Par value
= (7% / 4) x $ 1,000
= $ 17.50
return is computed as follows:
= [ Dividend just paid x (1 + growth rate) / current price ] + growth rate
= [ ($ 3.15 x 1.04) / $ 36.70 ] + 4%
= ($ 3.276 / $ 36.70) + 4%
= 12.93%
