Maturity Value Two Questions?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
The Timberlake-Jackson Wardrobe Co. has 7 percoupon bonds on the market with 9 years left to maturity. The bonds make annual payments. If the bond currently sells for 1,038.50 what is its YTM?

coupon: $35

n = 18

PV 1,038.50

YTM = 3.21496 * 2 = 6.42992%

The next dividend payment by Wyatt, Inc., will be $2.30 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.5 percent forever. Assume the stock currently sells for $39.85 per share.

What is the dividend yield? 2.30 / 39.85 = 0.05772, or 5.772%

What is the expected capital gains yield? g = 4.5%

since P0 = D1 / (r - g)...

39.85 = 2.30 / (r - 0.045)

0.05772 = r - 0.045

r = 0.10272, or 10.272%

next year...D = 2.30(1+g) = 2.30(1.045) = $2.4035

Price next year "P2": 2.4035 / 0.05772
= 41.64325

return from capital gains:( P2 / P1) - 1

(41.64325 / 39.85) - 1 = 0.045, or 4.5%

so return from dividend yield + return from capital gains yield = r

0.05772 + 0.045 = 0.10272, or 10.272%
