Mr. A is thinking of buying shares at 500 each having face value of 100. He is expecting a bonus at the ratio of 1: 5 during the fourth year. Annual expected dividend is 20% and the same rate is expected to be maintained on the expanded capital base. He intends to sell the shares at the end of seventh year at an expected price of 900 each. Incidental expenses for purchase and sale of shares are estimated to be 5% of the market price. He expects a minimum return of 12% per annum. Should Mr. A buy the share? If so, advise the maximum price should he pay for each share? Note: 1. Assume that there is no tax on dividend income and capital gains. 2. Present Value Factors should be used up to three decimal places, and the final calculations should be rounded off to two decimal places.
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
P.V. of dividend stream and sales proceeds Year Divd. /Sale PVF (12%) PV (₹) 1 20/- 0.893 17.86 2 20/- 0.797 15.94 3 20/- 0.712 14.24 4 24/- 0.636 15.26 5 24/ 0.567 13.61 6 24/ 0.507 12.17 7 24/ 0.452 10.85 7 1026/- (900x 1.2 x 0.95) 0.452 463.75 563.68 Less: Cost of Share (500x 1.05) 525.00 Net gain 38.68 Since Mr. A is gaining 38.68 per share, he should buy the share. Maximum price Mr. A should be ready to pay is 563.68 which will include incidental expenses. So the maximum price should be - 563.68 x 100/105 = 536.84
