Stock and Bond Valuation

Stock and bond valuation separates present worth of periodic income from present worth of the future selling or face value.

$$P=P_1+P_2$$

Problem 38: CE Board May 2016

ABC stock sells for P50, pays P3 annual dividends, and is expected to increase 5% yearly for 5 years. Find the company cost of capital.

$$F=50(1.05)^5=63.81$$

Solving $50=3(P/A,i,5)+63.81(P/F,i,5)$ gives $i=10.49\%$.

Final answer: $10.49\%$.

Problem 39: CE Board May 2019

A bond sells for $930, face value $1000, matures in 10 years, pays $70 yearly interest, and broker fee is $15 per bond. Find cost of capital.

Net proceeds: $930-15=915$.

$$915=70(P/A,i,10)+1000(P/F,i,10)$$

Trial gives $i=8.29\%$.
