Brushy Mountain Mining Company\'s ore reserves are being depleted, so its sales

Question

Brushy Mountain Mining Company's ore reserves are being depleted, so its sales are falling. Also, its pit is getting deeper each year, so its costs are rising. As a result, the company's earnings and dividends are declining at the constant rate of 8% per year. If D0 = $5 and rs = 16%, what is the value of Brushy Mountain Mining's stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Nick's Enchiladas Incorporated has preferred stock outstanding that pays a dividend of $4 at the end of each year. The preferred stock sells for $50 a share. What is the stock's required rate of return? Round the answer to two decimal places.

The risk-free rate of return, rRF , is 10%; the required rate of return on the market, rM, 15%; and Schuler Company's stock has a beta coefficient of 1.6.
If the dividend expected during the coming year, D1, is $1.75, and if g is a constant 1.5%, then at what price should Schuler's stock sell? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Now, suppose the Federal Reserve Board increases the money supply, causing a fall in the risk-free rate to 4% and rM to 12%. How would this affect the price of the stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

In addition to the change in part b, suppose investors' risk aversion declines; this fact, combined with the decline in rRF, causes rM to fall to 11%. At what price would Schuler's stock sell? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Suppose Schuler has a change in management. The new group institutes policies that increase the expected constant growth rate to 6%. Also, the new management stabilizes sales and profits, and thus causes the beta coefficient to decline from 1.6 to 1.1. Assume that rRF and rM are equal to the values in part c. After all these changes, what is Schuler's new equilibrium price? (Note: D1 goes to $1.83.) Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Explanation / Answer

Help: D0 = $6 and g = -0.08, then D1 = $6 (1 - 0.08) = $6(0.92) = $5.52 P0 = D1/(r-g) Price = 5.52 / (0.17 + 0.08) = $22.08
