Expert Solution

a). Computation of the ROE of the company:-

Debt ratio = 1- (1 / Equity multiplier)

0.4 = 1 - (1 / Equity multiplier)

(1 / Equity multiplier) = 1 - 0.4

= 0.6

Equity multiplier = 1 / 0.6

= 1.67

ROE = Net profit margin * Total asset turnover * Equity multiplier

= 10% * 0.9 * 1.67

= 15%

 

b). Computation of the price of FSL shares:-

D1 = EPS * 30%

= $3.50 * 30%

= $1.05

Growth rate = ROE * (1 - Dividend payout ratio)

= 15% * ( 1- 30%)

= 10.50%

Share price = D1 / (Required return - Growth rate)

= $1.05 / (12.4% - 10.50%)

= $1.05 / 1.9%

= $55.26

 

c). Computation of the price due to future growth opportunities:-

Present value of growth opportunity = Stock price - (Earnings / Required rate of return)

= $55.26 - ($3.50 / 12.4%)

= $55.26 - $28.23

= $27.04
