Explanation / Answer
A7. expected rate of return= dividend yield+ capital gain yield = PMT/FV + (Mkt Price-FV)/FV = (8%*1000)/1000 + (1085-1000)/1000 = 16.50%................ans (a) Since expected Rate of return is more than reqd rate of return, we should buy the bond...Ans (b) 8-16. Do = 1.32, g=8%, a. P0 = 23.50 Whatis Ks P0 = D0*(1+g)/(Ks-g) So Ks = Do*(1+g)/P0 + g = 1.32*(1+8%)/23.50 + 8% = 14.07% b. If Ks=10.5% P0 = Do*(1+g)/(Ks-G) = 1.32*(1+8%)/(10.5%-8%) = $57.02 c. As stock Mkt price is less than my expected price, i should buy the stock
