In this problem we use Regression Analysis to test the hypothesis that Dividends per share significantly affects price per share of a company.

	Dividends Per Share Paid	2.408	.328	.811	7.345	.000

a Dependent Variable: Price Per Share of Company Stock

Model Summary

Model	R	R Square	Adjusted R Square	Std. Error of the Estimate
1	.811(a)	.658	.646	9.683

a Predictors: (Constant), Dividends Per Share Paid

Using the SPSS results above, state the Regression Equation (Model) for this problem)

If an asset does not pay dividends, what will be the price of the asset?

If an asset pays $3.75 per share, what will be the price of the asset?

State the Null and Alternate Hypothesis that Dividends per Share may or may not affect the Price per Share for a company

What is the Critical Z value for the test at .01 Level of Significance?

What is your conclusion? Explain your answer.

Expert Solution

Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" for the answer in case the answer has helped you

Answer: y^ = 26.805 + 2.408*x, where

y^ = predicted price per share of company stock
x = dividents per share paid

If an asset does not pay dividends, what will be the x = 0, then:

Price of the asset
y^ = 26.805 + 2.408*x, where x = 0
y^ = 26.805 + 2.408*0
y^ = $26.805

Answer: $26.805

If an asset pays $3.75 dividends, what will be the x = 0, then:

Price of the asset
y^ = 26.805 + 2.408*3.75
y^ = $35.835

Answer: $35.835

Answer:

Null hypothesis: dividends per share paid = 0
Alternate hypothesis: dividends per share paid != 0 ( please note the not equal to sign)

Critical Z for .01 is +2.5758 ( used the Z table to find the find cumulative of (1- .01/2) because it is essentially a 2 tailed test, so .01 is divided into 2 tails)

Answer: +2.5758

Answer:

Conclusion: Our test-statistic is 2.408 ( check unstandardized coefficient for Dividends per share paid), is is less than 2.5758 ( critical Z calculated in part e above). It is not in critical region hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis,

Divident per Share Paid does not have a statistically significant linear relation with Price per share of company stock

Suppose that a firm's recent earnings per share and dividends per share are $5.00 and $1.00, respectively. Both are expected to grow at 5 percent. However, the firm's current P/E ratio of 18 seems high for this growth rate. The P/E ratio is expected to fall to 10 within five years. Compute a value for this stock by first estimating the dividends over the next five years and the stock price in five years. Then discount these cash flows using...
