Stocks and Their Valuation: Introduction

Common stock represents the (-Select-creditor ownership management) position in a firm, and is valued as the present value of its expected future (-Select-dividend interest FCF) stream. Common stock dividends (-Select-are always, may be, are no) specified by contract—they depend on the firm's earnings. Two models are used to estimate a stock's intrinsic value: the discounted dividend model and the corporate valuation model.

The (-Select-corporate valuation discounted dividend) model values a common stock as the present value of its expected future cash flows at the firm's required rate of return on equity. Variations of this model are used to value constant growth stocks, zero growth stocks, and nonconstant growth stocks.

The (-Select-corporate valuation, discounted dividend) model is an alternative model used to value a firm, especially one that does not pay dividends or is privately held. This model calculates the firm's (-Select-common stock dividends bond principal payments free cash flows) , and then finds their present values at the firm's weighted average cost of capital to determine a firm's value.

Which of the following statements is correct?

  1. The only difference between the discounted dividend and corporate valuation models is the expected cash flow stream. Expected future dividends are the cash flow stream in the discounted dividend model and expected free cash flows are the cash flow stream in the corporate valuation model. Both models use the same discount rate to calculate the present value of the cash flow stream.
  2. The discounted dividend model is especially suited for valuing companies that are privately held.
  3. The only difference between the discounted dividend and corporate valuation models is the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the cash flow stream. The discount rate used in the discounted dividend model is the firm's required rate of return on equity, while the discount rate used in the corporate valuation model is the firm's weighted average cost of capital. Both models use the same expected cash flow stream in the discounting process.
  4. There are actually two differences between the discounted dividend and corporate valuation models: the expected cash flow stream and the discount rate used in the models are different. The discounted dividend model calculates the firm's stock price as the present value of the expected future dividends at the firm's required rate of return on equity, while the corporate valuation model calculates the firm's stock price as the present value of the expected free cash flows at the firm's weighted average cost of equity.

Sharp Motor Company has two operating divisions—an Auto Division and a Truck Division. The company has a cafeteria that serves the employees of both divisions. The costs of operating the cafeteria are budgeted at $76,000 per month plus $0.50 per meal served. The company pays all the cost of the meals.

The fixed costs of the cafeteria are determined by peak-period requirements. The Auto Division is responsible for 71% of the peak-period requirements, and the Truck Division is responsible for the other 29%.

For June, the Auto Division estimated it would need 86,000 meals served, and the Truck Division estimated it would need 56,000 meals served. However, due to unexpected layoffs of employees during the month, only 56,000 meals were served to the Auto Division. Another 56,000 meals were served to the Truck Division as planned.

Cost records in the cafeteria show that actual fixed costs for June totaled $85,000 and actual meal costs totaled $76,000.


Required:

1. How much cafeteria cost should be charged to each division for June?

2. Assume the company follows the practice of allocating all cafeteria costs incurred each month to the divisions in proportion to the number of meals served to each division during the month. On this basis, how much cost would be allocated to each division for June? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
