Portman industires just paid a divident of $2.40 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 12.00% over the next year. After teh next year, though, Portman's divident is expected to grow at a constant rate of 2.40% per year.The risk free rate is 3.00%, the market risk premium is 3.60% and pormans beta is 1.90.Assuming taht the market is in equilibriumWhat are the dividends one year from now________What is the Horizon value__________What is the Intrinsic value of Portman's stock_______What is the expected dividend yield for portmant stock today?a. 5.95%
b. 7.44%
c. 7.26%
d. 7.98%

Answer :

Answer:

dividend one year D1 = $2.688

horizon value P1 =  $36.9961

intrinsic value of portman stock P = $36.1290

dividend yield = 7.44 %

so correct option is b

Explanation:

given data

dividend = $2.40 per share

expected to grow = 12%

constant rate = 2.40%

risk free rate = 3.00%

market risk premium = 3.60%

pormans beta = 1.90

solution

we find first dividend one year from now is

dividend one year = D × (1+g)    ..................1

here D is given dividend and g is expected to grow rate put here value we get

dividend one year = $2.40 × (1+12%)

dividend one year D1 = $2.688

and

now we find cost of  equity that is

cost of equity Ke = Rf + β ×market risk premium    ..............2

Rf is risk free rate and β is pormans beta put these value

cost of equity Ke = 3% + (1.9 × 3.6%)

cost of equity Ke  = 0.0984 = 9.84 %

so

horizon value is here

horizon value = [tex]\frac{D1*(1+g)}{Ke-g}[/tex]   ..................3

put here all value

horizon value = [tex]\frac{2.688*(1+0.0240)}{0.0984-0.0240}[/tex]

horizon value P1 =  $36.9961

and

intrinsic value of portman stock is

P = [tex]\frac{D1}{(1+Ke)^1} +\frac{P1}{(1+Ke)^1}[/tex]     ...................4

put here value

P = [tex]\frac{2.688}{(1+0.0984)^1} +\frac{36.9961}{(1+0.0984)^1}[/tex]

intrinsic value of portman stock P = $36.1290

and

dividend yield is here  express as

dividend yield = [tex]\frac{D1}{P}[/tex]        ......................5

put here value

dividend yield = [tex]\frac{2.688}{36.1290}[/tex]

dividend yield = 7.44 %

so correct option is b
