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
1.为什么133.33是fv, 2.既然是永续债券,随便分割付息的时间点不可以吗?就按照5个季度为一个区间,那么d=2,r=6/4*5为什么不行呢
