Solutions

Expert Solution

Given in the question:

EPS= $5

Stock Price= $80

Payout Ratio= 40%

Cost of Capital= 10%

ROE = EPS/MPS= 5/80= 6.25%

g= reinvestment rate * roe

reinvestment rate = 1- payout ratio= 1- 0.4= 0.6

Therefore, g=0.6*6.25%= 3.75%

b. PV of Growth Opportunities= Dividend Amount/(cost of equity-g)= 32/(10%-3.75%)= 512
