Dream Homes Corporation had net earnings of $200,000 this past year and paid $80,000 in dividends on the company’s equity of $1,800,000. Dream Homes has 500,000 shares outstanding with a current market value of $5. What is the firm’s present value of growth opportunities if the required rate of return is
10.08 percent?
$0.77
$0.84
$0.86
$0.90
Given about Dream Home corporation,
Net earning last year = $200000
Dividends = $80000
Total share outstanding = 500000
So, Earning per share EPS0 = Net earning/number of shares = 200000/500000 = $0.4
Dividend per share D0 = dividend/number of shares = 80000/500000 = $0.16
current market price P0 = $5
require rate of return r = 10.08%
So, Growth rate can be calculated using dividend growth model.
P0 = D0*(1+g)/(r-g)
=> 5 = 0.16*(1+g)/(0.1008-g)
=> 0.504 - 5g = 0.16 + 0.16g
=> g = (0.504-0.16)/5.16 = 6.67%
So, expected EPS in year 1, EPS1 = EPS0*(1+g) = 0.4*(1+0.0667) = $0.4267
So, present value of growth opportunity = P0 - EPS1/r = 5 - 0.4267/0.1008 = $0.77
Option A is correct.
