Question

Please answer 1-4 or none of them at all.

1.A bank stock is currently paying $2.53 in dividends per year. The bank grows slowly, at about 1% per year. Given a required rate of return of 12% per year, what is the current stock price?

2. A restaurant chain company named Fatso's Burgers is currently paying out $3.39 per year in dividends and is forecast to grow at 6% per year. Based on a 12% required rate of return, what is the stock price?

3. A bond has a face value of $1,000. The bond matures in 10 years. It has a coupon rate of 8% and pays interest annually. The yield is 9%. What is the price of the bond?

4. A bond has a face (par) value of 10,000. It matures in 20 years. The bond has an annual coupon of 9%. Based on a market rate (yield) of 7%, what is the current price of the bond?

Explanation / Answer

1)

price = dividend next year /(required rate of return - growth rate)

= 2.53 * (1+1%)/(12%-1%)

= 23.23

2)

price = 3.39 * (1+6%)/(12%-6%)

= 59.89

3)

price of bond = coupon payment * [1-(1+i)^-n ]/i + facevalue/(1+i)^n

price = 80 * [1-(1+9%)^-10]/9% + 1000/(1+9%)^10

= 935.82

4)

price of bond = coupon payment * [1-(1+i)^-n ]/i + facevalue/(1+i)^n

= 900 * [1-(1+7%)^-20]/7% + 10000/(1+7%)^20

= 12118.80
