Chapter Stoc and Their Valuation ANSWERS TO EN-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS - a. A proxy i a document giving one peron the authority to act for another, typically the power to vote hare of common toc. If earning are poor and tocholder are diatified, an outide group may olicit the proxie in an effort to overthrow management and tae control of the buine, nown a a proxy fight. A taeover i an action whereby a peron or group ucceed in outing a firm management and taing control of the company. b. The preemptive right give the current hareholder the right to purchae any new hare iued in proportion to their current holding. The preemptive right may or may not be required by tate law. When granted, the preemptive right enable current owner to maintain their proportionate hare of ownerhip and control of the buine. It alo prevent the ale of hare at low price to new tocholder which would dilute the value of the previouly iued hare. c. Claified toc i ometime created by a firm to meet pecial need and circumtance. Generally, when pecial claification of toc are ued, one type i deignated Cla A, another a Cla B, and o on. Cla A might be entitled to receive dividend before dividend can be paid on Cla B toc. Cla B might have the excluive right to vote. Founder hare are toc owned by the firm founder that have ole voting right but retricted dividend for a pecified number of year. d. Some companie are o mall that their common toc are not actively traded; they are owned by only a few people, uually the companie manager. Such firm are aid to be cloely held corporation. In contrat, the toc of mot larger companie are owned by a large number of invetor, mot of whom are not active in management. Such companie are aid to be publicly owned corporation. e. The over-the-counter (OTC) maret i the networ of dealer that provide for trading in unlited ecuritie. An organized ecurity exchange i a formal organization, having a tangible phyical location, that facilitate trading in deignated ( lited ) ecuritie. The two major U.S. ecurity exchange are the New Yor Stoc Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stoc Exchange (AMEX). f. The econdary maret deal with trading in previouly iued, or Harcourt, Inc. item and derived item copy right by Harcourt, Inc. Anwer and Solution: -
outtanding, hare of etablihed, publicly owned companie. The company receive no new money when ale are made in the econdary maret. The primary maret handle additional hare old by etablihed, publicly owned companie. Companie can raie additional capital by elling in thi maret. g. Going public i the act of elling toc to the public at large by a cloely held corporation or it principal tocholder, and thi maret i often termed the initial public offering (IPO) maret. h. Intrinic value ( Pˆ) i the preent value of the expected future cah flow. The maret price (P ) i the price at which an aet can be old. i. The required rate of return on common toc, denoted by, i the minimum acceptable rate of return conidering both it riine and the return available on other invetment. The expected rate of return, denoted by ˆ, i the rate of return expected on a toc given it current price and expected future cah flow. If the toc i in equilibrium, the required rate of return will equal the expected rate of return. The realized (actual) rate of return, denoted by, i the rate of return that wa actually realized at the end of ome holding period. Although expected and required rate of return mut alway be poitive, realized rate of return over ome period may be negative. j. The capital gain yield reult from changing price and i calculated a (P - P )/P, where P i the beginning-of-period price and P i the end-of-period price. For a contant growth toc, the capital gain yield i g, the contant growth rate. The dividend yield on a toc can be defined a either the end-of-period dividend divided by the beginning-of-period price, or the ratio of the current dividend to the current price. Valuation formula ue the former definition. The expected total return, or expected rate of return, i the expected capital gain yield plu the expected dividend yield on a toc. The expected total return on a bond i the yield to maturity.. A zero growth toc ha contant earning and dividend; thu, the expected dividend payment i fixed, jut a a bond coupon payment. Since the company i preumed to continue operation indefinitely, the dividend tream i a perpetuity. A perpetuity i a ecurity on which the principal never ha to be repaid. l. Normal, or contant, growth occur when a firm earning and dividend grow at ome contant rate forever. One category of noncontant growth toc i a upernormal growth toc which ha one or more year of growth above that of the economy a a whole, but at ome point the growth rate will fall to the normal rate. Thi occur, generally, a part of a firm normal life cycle. Anwer and Solution: - Harcourt, Inc. item and derived item copyright by Harcourt, Inc.
l. Equilibrium i the condition under which the expected return on a ecurity i jut equal to it required return, ˆ, and the price i table. n. The Efficient Maret Hypothei (EMH) tate () that toc are alway in equilibrium and () that it i impoible for an invetor to conitently beat the maret. In eence, the theory hold that the price of a toc will adjut almot immediately in repone to any new development. In other word, the EMH aume that all important information regarding a toc i reflected in the price of that toc. Financial theorit generally define three form of maret efficiency: wea-form, emitrong-form, and trong-form. Wea-form efficiency aume that all information contained in pat price movement i fully reflected in current maret price. Thu, information about recent trend in a toc price i of no ue in electing a toc. Semitrong-form efficiency tate that current maret price reflect all publicly available information. Therefore, the only way to gain abnormal return on a toc i to poe inide information about the company toc. Strong-form efficiency aume that all information pertaining to a toc, whether public or inide information, i reflected in current maret price. Thu, no invetor would be able to earn abnormal return in the toc maret. o. Preferred toc i a hybrid--it i imilar to bond in ome repect and to common toc in other repect. Preferred dividend are imilar to interet payment on bond in that they are fixed in amount and generally mut be paid before common toc dividend can be paid. If the preferred dividend i not earned, the director can omit it without throwing the company into banruptcy. So, although preferred toc ha a fixed payment lie bond, a failure to mae thi payment will not lead to banruptcy. Mot preferred toc entitle their owner to regular fixed dividend payment. - True. The value of a hare of toc i the PV of it expected future dividend. If the two invetor expect the ame future dividend tream, and they agree on the toc riine, then they hould reach imilar concluion a to the toc value. -3 A perpetual bond i imilar to a no-growth toc and to a hare of preferred toc in the following way:. All three derive their value from a erie of cah inflow--coupon payment from the perpetual bond, and dividend from both type of toc.. All three are aumed to have indefinite live with no maturity value (M) for the perpetual bond and no capital gain yield for the toc. Harcourt, Inc. item and derived item copyright by Harcourt, Inc. Anwer and Solution: - 3
-4 Ye. If a company decide to increae it payout ratio, then the dividend yield component will rie, but the expected long-term capital gain yield will decline. -5 No. The correct equation ha in the numerator and a minu ign in the denominator. -6 a. The average invetor in a lited firm i not really intereted in maintaining hi proportionate hare of ownerhip and control. If he wanted to increae hi ownerhip, he could imply buy more toc on the open maret. Conequently, mot invetor are not concerned with whether new hare are old directly (at about maret price) or through right offering. However, if a right offering i being ued to effect a toc plit, or if it i being ued to reduce the underwriting cot of an iue (by ubtantial underpricing), the preemptive right may well be beneficial to the firm and to it tocholder. b. The preemptive right i clearly important to the tocholder of cloely held firm whoe owner are intereted in maintaining their relative control poition.
