AFW Industries has 219 million shares outstanding and expects earnings at the end of this year of $664 million. AFW plans to pay out 59% of its earnings in total, paying 33% as a dividend and using 21% to repurchase shares. If AFW's earnings are expected to grow by 7.3% per year and these payout rates remain constant, determine AFW's share price assuming an equity cost of capital of 12.2%.

Explanation / Answer

1)Dividend distributed = 664*.38= 252.32

dividend per share = 252.32/ 219 = 1.15215 per share

Price per share = D1 /(Cost of equity -G)

                      = 1.15125 / (.122-.078)

                       = 1.15125 / .044

                       = 26.19 per share

2)Dividend per share = 4.7 /5.4 = .87037

price = D1 / cost of equity

        = .87037 / .123

       = $ 7.08 per share
