问题如下:
A perpetual preferred stock makes its first quarterly dividend payment of $2.00 in five quarters. If the required annual rate of return is 6% compounded quarterly, the stock’s present value is closest to:
选项:
A.$31.
B.$126.
C.$133.
解释:
B is correct.
The value of the perpetuity one year from now is calculated as: PV = A/r, where PV is present value, A is annuity, and r is expressed as a quarterly required rate of return because the payments are quarterly.
PV = $2.00/(0.06/4) PV = $133.33.
The value today is (where FV is future value) PV = FV(1 + r)–N
PV = $133.33(1 + 0.015)–4
PV = $125.62 ≈ $126
\frac12
PVt=Dt/r实际是PVt=D1/r。由于折现是计算第0期的值,所以相当于要折到首笔现金流D1的前一期(第0期)。
所以,D5/(6%/4)=PV4。
PV4求出来后,求PV0,题目是季度复利,r都已经是1.5%了,时间N为什么还是4?
