Tattletale News Corp. has been growing at a rate of 10% per year, and you expect this growth rate in earnings and dividends to continue for another 3 years. The last dividend paid was $4. The discount rate is 17% and the steady growth rate after 3 years is 2%. a. What is the capital gain in stock price from year 0 to year 1? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a dollar amount rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the expected rate of return. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

The correct solution is:

(a) 3.76%

(b) 17.00%

Explanation:

[tex]D1 =4\times (1+10 \ percent)[/tex]

     [tex]=4.40[/tex]

[tex]D2 =4\times (1+10 \ percent)^2[/tex]

     [tex]=4.84[/tex]

[tex]D3 =4\times (1+10 \ percent)^3[/tex]

     [tex]=5.324[/tex]

[tex]D4 =4\times (1+10 \ percent)^3\times 1.02[/tex]

     [tex]=5.43048[/tex]

Now,

The terminal value will be:

[tex]=\frac{5.43048}{17 \ percent-2 \ percent}[/tex]

[tex]=36.2032[/tex]

In year 0, the price will be:

[tex]=\frac{4.40}{1.17}+\frac{4.84}{1.17^2}+\frac{5.324}{1.17^3} + \frac{36.2032}{1.17^3}[/tex]

[tex]=33.2247[/tex]

In year 1, the price will be:

[tex]=\frac{4.84}{1.17^1} +\frac{5.324}{1.17^2} +\frac{36.2032}{1.17^2}[/tex]

[tex]= 34.4729[/tex]

(a)

The capital gain in stock price is:

[tex]=\frac{(34.4729-33.2247)}{33.2247}[/tex]

[tex]=3.76 \ percent[/tex]

(b)

[tex]Dividend \ yield=\frac{Dividend \ year \ 1}{price}[/tex]

                        [tex]=\frac{4.40}{33.2247}[/tex]

                        [tex]=13.24 \ percent[/tex]

So,

The expected rate of return is:

[tex]=Capital \ Gain+ Dividend \ Yield[/tex]

[tex]=3.76 \ percent+13.24 \ percent[/tex]

[tex]= 17.00 \ percent[/tex]

Note: percent = %
