Solutions to Questions and Problems
NOTE: All end of chapter problems were solved using a spreadsheet. Many problems require multiple

Intermediate Questions
16. The growth rates will be 20%, 15%, and 10% in years 1-3, with a 5% rate thereafter.
D1=1.25(1.20) = $1.50
17. P14 = D15 / (k – g) = $4 / (.15 – .055) = $42.11
18. EV = $420 + $38 - $12 = $446
19. P4 = $2.20(1.04) / (.10 – .04) = $38.13
20. P6 = D7 / (k – g) = $1.68(1.055)7 / (.11 – .055) = $44.43
21. P/E ratio values are: 21.77, 19.88, 18.98, 16.16, 17.36, 17.10 ; average = 18.54
EPS growth rates: 16.36%, 3.37%, 16.09%, 15.51%, 14.29% ; average = 13.12%
A reasonable price range would seem to be $146 to $167 per share, although both the P/E and
P/CFPS are at the high end of the price range.
22. k = .03 + 1.10(.075) = 11.25%

23. P/E ratio: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, 2,075.00, 225.00 ; average = 1,150.00
EPS growth rates: 17.50%, 45.45%, 69.44%, 107.27%, 50.00% ; average = 57.93%
Expected share price using P/E = 1,150($0.06)(1.5793) = $108.97
24. P/E ratios and P/CFPS are all negative, so these ratios are unusable.
This price is ridiculous, $168! Notice that sales have been exploding, but the company still can’t

27. b = 1 – ($2.04 / $5.00) = .5920; g = 9.50% × .5920 = 5.62%
28. P/E price: 13.10(1.1348)($5.00) = $74.33
29. EPS next year = $5.00(1.0562) = $5.28
30. Clean dividend = $5.28 – ($18.01 – 17.05) = $4.32
32. The values for the end of the year are:

We will use this relationship to calculate the book value in the following years, so:
P0 =
$3 .79 - ($14 .57 - 12 . 95 )
1. 082
+
($3 .79 × 1. 11) - ($14 . 57 ×. 1250 )
1 .0822
+
($3 .79 × 1. 112) - ($14 .57 × 1. 125 ×. 1250)
1 .0823
+
($3 .79 × 1. 113) - ($14 . 57 × 1. 1252×. 1250)
1. 0824
+
$14 . 57 × 1 .12503
1. 0824
+
($3 .79 × 1. 113× 1. 06 ) - ($14 . 57 × 1 .12503×. 0820)
1. 0824×(. 0820 - . 06 )
P0 = $148.90
