Question

Preferred stock valuation Ezzell Corporation issued perpetual preferred stock with a 11% annual dividend. The stock currently yields 6%. and its par value is $100. What is the stock's value? Round your answer to two decimal places. Suppose interest rates rise and pull the preferred stock's yield up to 11%. What would be its new market value? Round your answer to two decimal places. Valuation of a declining growth stock Martell Mining Company's ore reserves are being depicted, so its sales are falling. Also, because its pit is getting deeper each year, its costs are rising. As a result, the company's earnings and dividends are declining at the constant rate of 6% per year. If D_0 = $6 and r_s = 15%, what is the value of Martell Mining's stock? Round your answer to two decimal places. Valuation of a constant growth stock A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.75 the end of the year (that is. D_1 = $1.75). and it should continue to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. If its required return is 15%. what is the stock's expected price 5 years from today? Round your answer to two decimal places.

However, investors expect Microtech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $I.50 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 27% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 8% per year. If the required return on Microtech is 18%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Explanation / Answer

Answer to problem (9-8):

A.

Dividend = 100*11% = $11

Yield (R) = 6%

Value of stock = Dividend / R = 11/6%

Value of the stock = $183.33

B.

If Yield (R) = 11%       

New market value of the stock = 11/11%    = $100
