Last year,Ragan had an EPS of $3.65 and paid a dividend to Carrigton andGenevieve for $195,000 each. The company also had a ROE of 18%.Larissa teslls Dan that a required return for Ragan of 13% isappropriate.

After adjusting for nonrecurring events (Nautilus Marine Engines)
a. Av. Industry growth rate= Av.ROE*Retention Ratio
ie. 12.50%*((1.57-0.51)/1.57)
8.44%
b. Calculation of Dividends for Ragan for each of the next 6 years
Ragan's Year 0 DPS= $ 195000/125000 shs.= 1.56
Ragan's EPS= 3.65
Retention Ratio=(3.65-1.56)/3.65= 57.26%
Ragan's growth rate=ROE*RR=
18%*57.26%= 10.31%
Ragan's Dividends for the next 6 yrs.
D1 3.65*(1+10.31%)^1= 4.0263
D2 3.65*(1+10.31%)^2= 4.4414
D3 3.65*(1+10.31%)^3= 4.8993
D4 3.65*(1+10.31%)^4= 5.4045
D5 3.65*(1+10.31%)^5= 5.9617
D6 3.65*(1+10.31%)^6= 6.5763 (as per this growth rate)
If the current growth rate of Ragan continues,
then value per share will be
3.65*(1.1031)/(18%-10.31%)= 52.36
C. Stock price as per Dan's assumptions--g=8.44% (Ind. Av. g )after Yr.5 PV F at 13% PV at 13%
D1 3.65*(1+10.31%)^1= 4.0263 0.884956 3.563111
D2 3.65*(1+10.31%)^2= 4.4414 0.783147 3.47829
D3 3.65*(1+10.31%)^3= 4.8993 0.69305 3.395488
D4 3.65*(1+10.31%)^4= 5.4045 0.613319 3.314657
D5 3.65*(1+10.31%)^5= 5.9617 0.54276 3.235751
Value at end Yr.5(5.9617*(1.0844)/(13%-0.0844)= 141.773 0.54276 76.94893
Stock Value at Year 0 93.93622
Value per share= ie. 93.94
