1. BP has come out with a new product. As a result, the firm projects ROE will equal 12%, and that the plowback ratio will equal .70. Its earnings today (time 0) are $1.40 per share. Investors expect a 10% rate of return on the stock.
(a) Find the intrinsic value of the stock P (show your work and remember to use D1)
(b) Find the PVGO
(c) Find the P/E ratio
2. Find a publicly traded stock that pays a dividend. Find an estimate of cash flow (you can use EBITDA or Levered Cash flow - but make sure it is adjusted to be a per share calculation), and
(a) estimate the intrinsic value of the stock using dividends assuming a six percent constant growth rate and that the discount rate is 8% for year 1, 9% for year 2 and 10% in year 3 and after.
(b) estimate the intrinsic value of the stock using cash flows assuming a six percent constant growth rate and that the discount rate is 8% for year 1, 9% for year 2 and 10% in year 3 and after.
(c) compare your results with the actual stock price. Which is closer to the actual price?
3. You are bullish on Telecom stock. The current market price is $40 per share, and you have $10,000 to invest. If the margin limit is 50% and you borrow the maximum from your broker at 4% interest, and invest everything in Telecom,
(a) what will your return be if you hold the stock for a year and the price goes up to $50? Show your calculation including the cost of interest
(b) how far does the price have to fall for you to have a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30%? Show your calculation.
4. You have decided PhoneCo stock is overpriced at $120 and you want to sell short the stock,
(a) what is the maximum number of shares you can sell if you have $10,000 to invest and the initial margin is 50% for short sales? Show your calculation.
(b) what is the first price that results in a margin call if the maintenance margin on short positions is 30%? Show your calculation.
5. The risk-free rate is 1% and there are three stocks that you can invest in with the following E(r) and ?:
E(r) ?
Stock A .11 .29
Stock B .09 .21
Stock C .13 .32
The pair-wise correlation coefficients are ?AB = .25, ?BC = .35, ?AC = .40
In addition to the stocks A,B,C you can also invest in the following portfolios as follows:
Portfolio Weights
A B C
Portfolio 1: 50% 50% 0%
Portfolio 2: 50% 0% 50%
Portfolio 3: 0% 50% 50%
Portfolio 4: 331/3% 331/3% 331/3%
(a) Construct a table showing the E(r) and ? for each of the seven investments.
(b) Carefully graph the seven investment choices from questions on a plot with E(r) as the y axis and ? as the x axis.
(c) Draw on your graph (approximately) the Efficient Frontier and the Capital Allocation Line for the minimum variance portfolio.
(d) Would risk averse investors invest in a combination of the minimum variance portfolio and the risk-free rate? Explain.
(e) Using the approximate results from your graph, calculate the exact investment you would make to earn an E(r)=20%.
Explanation / Answer
Answer : 1
BP has come out with a new product.
ROE =12%,
Plowback ratio( retention ratio) = 0.70.
EPS = $1.40 per share.
Ke =10%
(a) Find the intrinsic value of the stock P (show your work and remember to use D1)
Growth rate (g) = retention ratio * ROE
= 0.70*0.12
=8.40%
Dividend payout ratio = 1-retention ratio
= 1-0.7
=0.3
Dividend per share (D0) = EPS * Dividend payout ratio
= 1.4 * 0.3
= $ 0.42 per share
Dividend for next year (D1) = Dividend per share (D0) * (1+growth rate)
= 0.42 * (1+0.084)
=0.42*1.084
= $ 0.455 per share
Intrinsic value of the stock P = D1/ke-g
= 0.455/10%-8.40%
= 0.455/0.016
= $ 28.44
Answer : The intrinsic value of the stock P is $28.44
(b) Find the PVGO
Present value of growth opportunities (PVG0) = ROE
