Define par value - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Par value is the face value, Par value is
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


important for a bond or fixed-income instrument because it determines its
| | | | | | | | | | |


maturity value as well as the dollar value of coupon payments (eg of $50 par
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


value w 6% dividend payment= $53)
| | | | |




Characteristics of preferred stocks and compare to common stocks

eg)If you had 6% dividend and a $50 par value what would be your return at the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

always pay preferred stock dividends before common stock.
| | | | | | |




-unlike common stockholders preferred stock holders do not own part of the
| | | | | | | | | | | |


company.


-unlike common stocks(can largely inc/dec) , preferred stocks value never strays
| | | | | | | | | | |


very far from the par value
| | | | |




-even though it is called a stock and goes under equity on the balance sheet, it
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


acts similarly to debt
| | |




-commonly has a fixed dividend % payment based on the par value(25,50,75,100)

(similar to a bond) | | |

fixed


(similar to a bond, payments/profits are given/taken at a fixed rate)

| | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


expected cash flows discounted at an appropriate ________________. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |


|ANSWER✔✔-The intrinsic value of something is said to be the theoretical value
| | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | |




(eg. stocks/bonds/project)
|

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


______ ___ ___ - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-expected= Price* and growth potential
| | | | | | | | |




Required= risk of asset and the current market interest rates
| | | | | | | | |




eg) you req. 12% but looking at price/ growth potential u expect to earn 10%, this
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


means it is probably over priced.
| | | | | |




Preferred stock formula, variable meanings - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Vps= D/Kps
| | | | | | | |




value of preferred stock= fixed Dividend/ req. rate of return on the stock
| | | | | | | | | | | |




Xerox preferred pays an 8.25% dividend on a $50 par value.
| | | | | | | | | |




Suppose our required rate of return on xerox preferred is 9.5%, what is the value
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


of the preferred stock? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Vps= D/Kps
| | | | | | |




value of preferred stock= fixed Dividend/ req. rate of return on the stock
| | | | | | | | | | | |




so... Vps= 4.125/.095 = $43.42
| | | |




Vps= $43.42 (also called market price or Po)
| | | | | | |




Expected rate of return on preferred formula - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-^Kps= D/Po
| | | | | | | | | |

, Expected return= Fixed dividend/ market price
| | | | |




good to remember that whenever ur looking for expected, you will need the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


market price (if the Vps/true value of preferred stock is given use that)
| | | | | | | | | | | |




If we know the preferred stock price is $40, and the preferred dividend is $4.125
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


the expected return is? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-^Kps= D/Po
| | | | | | |




Expected return= Fixed dividend/ market price
| | | | |




Kps= 4.125/40 = .1031
| | |




Expected rate of return= .1031/ 10.31%***
| | | | |




The actual price of a preferred stock is usually close to its _________ - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


ANSWER✔✔-Par value (usually 25,50,75, or 100) | | | | |




Common stock valuation eg: | | |




you expect XYZ company stock to pay a $5.50 dividend at the end of the year. The
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


stock price is expected to be $120 at that time.
| | | | | | | | | |




If you require a 15% rate of return, what would u pay for the stock now? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
