1,000 x3.7 % =37 # of periods =10years 2 =20 periods the price= 481.29+ 414.64 =$895.94
10 x 2 r= 9% /2PV
=BMT= 7.4 % x 1.000/2 = 37
FV =1,000
PV = $895.94
Expected dividend in next year (D1) = $5.60
Dividend expected growth rate (g) = 6% per year
Required Return on Stock ( R) = 10%
Current Market Value of a Share (P0) = D1 / (R – g)
Current Market Value of a Share (P0) = $5.60 / (0.10 – 0.06)
Current Market Value of a Share (P0) = $5.60 / 0.04
Current Market Value of a Share (P0) = $140
A12. (Required return for a preferred stock) James River $3.38 preferred is selling for $45.25. The preferred dividends is now growing. What is the required return on James River preferred stock?
Required Return = Dividend/Market Price
Dividend = $3.38
Market Price = $45.25
Required Return = $3.38 / $45.25
Required Return = 7.47%
A14.(Stock Valuation) Suppose Toyota has nonmaturing (perpetual) preferred stock outstanding that pays a $1.00 quarterly dividend and has a required return of 12% APR (3% per quarterly). What is the stock worth?
Perpetual Quarterly Preferred Dividend (D) = $1.00
Annual Dividend ($1.00 x 4.00) = $4.00
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) = 12%
Preferred Stock Value (P0) = (D / R)
Preferred Stock Value (P0) = ($4.00 / 0.12)
Preferred Stock Value (P0) = $33.33
