Question



The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE-10% and a beta of 1 50 it plans to mainta indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 4/5. This year's earnings were $2.1 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming years market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell.(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Pice $ b. Calculate the P/E ratio (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places PIE ratio Leading Trailing c. Calculate the present value of growth opportunities (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate caiculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places d. Suppose your research convinces you Analog will announce momentanily that it will immediately reduce its plowback ratio to 1/5.Find the intrinsic value of the stock. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal piaces.) S Intrinsic value of the stock

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

a) Ans:- $3.78

b) Ans:-Leading PE= 1.67

            Trailing PE= 1.80

c)Ans:- -$7.56 ( Note it is negative)

d)Ans:- $9.52      

Workings:-

a) Calculation of price of share

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

                                                            = 5%+1.50*(15%-5%)= 20.00%

Growth rate (g)= ROE*retention ratio = 10%*4/5=8%

Last dividend paid( DPS0)=$2.10*1/5=$0.42

Using DDM , Price of the share

         ( P0)   =DPS0*(1+g)()Ke-g)

            = $0.42*1.08/(20%-8%)

           =$0.4536/12%= $3.78

b) Calculation of PE ratio

Leading PE ratio = P0/EPS1

                                    =3.78/(2.1*1.08) =3.78/2.268= 1.67

Trailing PE ratio =P0/EPS0= 3.78/2.10=1.80

c) Present value of growth opportunities =

                        Price of share taking growth- Price without growth

                        =3.78(calculated above)-EPS1/RR

                        =3.78-2.1*1.08/20% = 3.78-11.34= -$7.56

d) If the retention ratio is changed to 1/5

Growth rate = ROE*Retention ratio= 10%*1/5= 2%

DPS0 will be = $2.10*4/5=$1.68

DPS1= DPS0*(1+2%%)=1.68*1.02=1.7136

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

                                                =1.7136/20%-2%)

                                                =1.7136/18% = $9.52
