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
这道题在计算第一个PV时,用6%/4,但这里的6%题目里说的是stated annual rate,得到的应该是“名义季度利率” 而题目说了是按quarterly计算复利,所以我先求出EAR,再除以4,得到了“实际季度利率”,比1.5%稍微大一丢丢。 然后计算年金PV,用A除以r,这里的r我理解应该用的是是实际季度利率而不是名义季度利率,请问哪里错了?
