Question

The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE = 15%, a beta of 1.90, and plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 1/5. This year's earmings were $3.20 per share. The annual dividend was just pald. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 16%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round Intermedlate calculations. Round your answer to 2 declmal places.) Price b. Calculate the P/E ratio. (Do not round Intermedlate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) P/E Ratic Leading Trailing c. Calculate the present value of growth opportunities. (Negatlve amount should be Indicated by a minus sign. Do not round Intermediete calculetions. Round your answer to 2 declmal places.) PVGO d. Suppose your research convinces you Analog will announce momentarlly that It will Immediately change its plowback ratio to 4/5. Find the Intrinsic value of the stock. (Do not round Intermedlate calculetions. Round your answer to 2 declmel places.) sic value

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

a) Ans:- $11.51

b) Ans:-Leading PE= 3.49

            Trailing PE= 3.60

c)Ans:- -$1.22

d)Ans:-$5.16

Workings:-

a) Calculation of price of share

First calculate cost of equity using CAPM model (Ke)= Rf+Beta*(Rm-Rf)

                                                            = 5%+1.90*(16%-5%)= 25.90%

Growth rate (g)= ROE*retention ratio = 15%*0.2=3%

Last dividend paid( DPS0)=$3.20*4/5=$2.56

Using DDM , Price of the share

         ( P0)   =DPS0*(1+g)()Ke-g)

            = $2.56*1.03/(25.90%-3%)

           =2.6368/22.9%= $11.51

b) Calculation of PE ratio

Leading PE ratio = P0/EPS1

                                    =11.51/(3.2*1.03) =11.51/3.296=3.49

Trailing PE ratio =P0/EPS0= 11.51/3.20= 3.60

c) Present value of growth opportunities =

                        Price of share taking growth- Price without growth

                        =11.51(calculated above)-EPS1/RR

                        =11.51-3.2(1+0.03)/25.90% = 11.51-12.7258= -$1.22

d) If the retention ratio is changed to 4/5

Growth rate = ROE*Retention ratio= 15%*4/5= 12%

DPS0 will be = $3.20*1/5=$0.64

DPS1= DPS0*(1+12%)=0.64*1.12=0.7168

Intrinsic value of share = DPS1/(RR-g)

                                                =0.7168/25.9%-12%)

                                                =0.7168/13.9% = $5.16
