1. Calculate the current price per share for Cali Corporation given the following projections for the coming year:
Sales=10,000 units
Sales price per unit= $10
Variable cost per unit= $5
Fixed costs= $10,000
Bonds outstanding= $15,000
Interest rate on outstanding bonds= 8%
Tax rate= 40%
Dividend payout ratio= 60%
Expected long term growth rate= 8%
Shares of common stock outstanding= 10,000 shares
Beta= 1.4
Current rate on government T- Bonds= 5%
Expected return on the stock market= 9%
We first find the dividend amount. The net income is
Sales (10,000X10) = 100,000
Variable Cost (10,000X5)=50,000
Fixed Cost = 10,000
EBIT = 40,000
Interest (15,000X8%)=1,200
Income before tax = 38,800
Tax(40%)=15,520
Net income=23,280
Dividend amount (60%) = 13,968
Dividend per Share=13,968/10,000 = 1.40
Since this is for the coming year, the dividend is the expected Dividend(D1)=1.4
We now use the CAPM to get the cost of equity
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + (Market Return-risk free rate) X ...
