Rework Problem 7-19. Taussig Technologies Corporation (TTC) has been growing at a rate of 20% per year in recent years. This same growth rate is expected to last for another 2 years (g1 = g2 = 20%). a. If D0 = $1.60, rs = 10%, and gn = 5%, what is TTC's stock worth today? What are its expected dividend yield and capital gains yield at this time? 1. Find the price today.

Find the expected dividend yield. Recall that the expected dividend yield is equal to the next expected annual dividend divided by the price at the beginning of the period.

The capital gains yield can be calculated by simply subtracting the dividend yield from the total expected return. Cap. Gain yield= Expected return – Dividend yield Cap. Gain yield= – Cap. Gain yield= Alternatively, we can recognize that the capital gains yield measures capital appreciation, hence solve for the price in one year, then divide the change in price from today to one year from now by the current price. To find the price one year from now, we will have to find the present values of the terminal value and second year dividend to time period one. P1 = P2 + D + rs) P1 = + P1 = Cap.

What will TTC's dividend yield and capital gains yield be once its period of supernormal growth ends? (Hint: These values will be the same regardless of whether you examine the case of 2 or 5 years of supernormal growth, and the calculations are very easy.) We used the 5-year supernormal growth scenario for this calculation, but ultimately it does not matter which example you use, as they both yield the same result. Dividend yield = Dn+1 / Pn Dividend yield = / Dividend yield = Cap. Gain yield= Expected return – Dividend yield Cap. Gain yield= – Cap. Gain yield= Upon reflection, we see that these calculations were unnecessary because the constant growth assumption holds that the long-term growth rate is the dividend growth rate and the capital gains yield, hence we could have simply subtracted the long-run growth rate from the required return to find the dividend yield.

Paper For Above Instructions

To evaluate the stock price, dividend yield, and capital gains yield of Taussig Technologies Corporation (TTC) in light of its growth projections, we will apply the Gordon Growth Model (also known as the Dividend Discount Model). This approach is particularly useful for companies experiencing varying growth rates over time.

Calculations for Two-Year Supernormal Growth

Given that TTC has a current dividend (D0) of $1.60, a required return (rs) of 10%, and a growth rate (gn) of 5% after the initial high growth period, we first calculate the expected dividends for the next two years, considering a growth rate of 20% (g1 = g2 = 20%).

The expected dividends for the next two years are:

  • D1: D0 × (1 + g1) = $1.60 × 1.20 = $1.92
  • D2: D1 × (1 + g2) = $1.92 × 1.20 = $2.304

After the two years of supernormal growth, the growth rate drops to the long-run growth rate (gL) of 5%. Thus, the dividend in year 3 (D3) can be calculated as:

  • D3: D2 × (1 + gL) = $2.304 × 1.05 = $2.4184

The present value of the dividends for the first two years can be calculated as follows:

  • PV(D1): D1 / (1 + rs)^1 = $1.92 / 1.10 = $1.7455
  • PV(D2): D2 / (1 + rs)^2 = $2.304 / (1.10^2) = $1.8955

To find the terminal value (P2) at the end of year 2, we use the formula:

  • P2: D3 / (rs - gL) = $2.4184 / (0.10 - 0.05) = $48.368

Now, we find the present value of P2:

  • PV(P2): P2 / (1 + rs)^2 = $48.368 / (1.10^2) = $39.8091

We can now calculate the total price today (P0):

  • P0: PV(D1) + PV(D2) + PV(P2) = $1.7455 + $1.8955 + $39.8091 = $43.4501

Expected Dividend Yield and Capital Gains Yield (2-Year Growth)

The expected dividend yield (DY) is calculated as follows:

  • DY: D1 / P0 = $1.92 / $43.4501 = 0.0442 or 4.42%

The expected capital gains yield (CGY) can be calculated by the formula:

  • CGY: rs - DY = 10% - 4.42% = 5.58%

Calculations for Five-Year Supernormal Growth

If the period of supernormal growth lasts for 5 years instead of 2, the same method will apply but with adjusted growth rates:

In this scenario, we will use:

  • Short-term growth (gS) for years 1-5 = 20%
  • Long-term growth (gL) for year 6 onward = 6%

The expected dividends for years 1 to 5 become:

  • D1 = $1.60 × 1.20 = $1.92
  • D2 = $1.92 × 1.20 = $2.304
  • D3 = $2.304 × 1.20 = $2.7648
  • D4 = $2.7648 × 1.20 = $3.31776
  • D5 = $3.31776 × 1.20 = $3.981312

Then we calculate D6:

  • D6 = D5 × (1 + gL) = $3.981312 × 1.06 = $4.221229

The present values and terminal value calculations will increase accordingly. Finally, after performing similar calculations, we would substitute D5 to find P5 and then similarly calculate the expected dividend yield and capital gains yield. The yields at the end of the supernormal growth period would converge due to the growth stabilization, and both would approximately match the long-term growth rate.

Conclusion

The evaluation of TTC illustrates how variations in supernormal growth duration affect stock price and income yields. Understanding these calculations allows investors to make informed decisions based on future dividend estimations and growth rates.
