1) LB Corp. has been growing at a rate of 14% per year in recent years. This same growth rate is expected to last indefinitely.

2) Shiny Industries producers of crab meat can issue perpetual preferred stock at a price of $30.99 per share. The stock would pay a constant annual dividend of $5.58 per share. What is the company's return on preferred stock
3) Enchancia Incorporated has common stock that is expected to grow at a rate of 25% over the next year. After this first year, it will stabilize to a 2% long-term growth rate.

4) American Standard Corp. (AS) offers the following returns next year. What is the expected rate of return? (round to two decimals. Your answer should be in the form (##.## %) and should include a negative if appropriate
scenario probability AS returns
boom 30% 8%
normal economy 40% -11%
recession 30% 20%
1) Computation of Value in Year 2 of the Dividend Paid in that year (D2):
D2 = D0*(1 + g)^2
= $6.75*(1 + 0.14)^2
D2 = $8.77
2) Computation of Company's Return on Preferred Stock:
Return on Preferred Stock = Dividend / Price* 100
= $5.58 / $30.99 * 100
Return on Preferred Stock = 18.01%
3) Computation of Value of the Stock Today:
Dividend for Year 1 = $1.93 * (1 + 25%) = $2.4125
Dividend for Year 2 = $2.4125 * (1 + 2%) = $2.4608
Value in Year 2 = Dividend for Year 2 / (Required Rate - Growth Rate)
= $2.4608 / 0.08 - 0.02
Value in year 2 = $41.01
Value of stock today = Present value of future cash flows
Present value = Future value / (1 + rate)^time
= $2.4125 / (1 + 0.08)^1 + $41.01 / (1 + 0.08)^1
= $2.23 + $37.97
Present Value = $40.21
4) Computation of Expected Return:
Expected Return = Respective Probability * Respective Return
= (30%*8%) + (40%*-11%) + (30%*20%)
= 2.40% + (-4.40%) + 6%
Expected Return = 4%
