Dividend Discount Models:General Model ¥ D å t = V o + t ( 1 k ) = 1 t • V0= Value of Stock • Dt= Dividend • k = required return
Constant Growth Model + D ( 1 g ) o = Vo - k g • g = constant perpetual growth rate

ROE Example • Company A and B have same ROA or same assets in total of $500 million, but B has financed 30% of their assets while A has no debt. Assume they both pay 40% corporate tax rates, interest on company B’s debt is 7%. • What is A and B’s ROE if their ROA is 12%? • ROEA = .6*[.12 + (.12 - .07)*0] = .072 or 7.2% • ROEB = .6*[.12 + (.12 - .07)*(150/350)] = .084 or 8.4% • What is A and B’s ROE if their ROA is 6%? • ROEA = .6*[.06 + (.06 - .07)*0] = .036 or 3.6% • ROEB = .6*[.06 + (.06 - .07)*(150/350)] = .033 or 3.3%
