QUESTION `1. [6 + 8 = 14 Marks.]a)This is a two period certainty model problem. Assume that William Brown has a sole income from Bobcat Ltd in which he owns12% of the ordinary share capital. In its financial year 2016-17 just ended, Bobcat Ltd reported net profits after tax of $600,000, and announced its net profits after tax expectation for the next financial year, 2017-18, to be 25% higher than this year’s figure. The company operates with a dividend payout ratio of 70%, which it plans to continue, and will pay the annual dividend for 2016-17 in mid-August, 2017, and the dividend for 2017-18 in mid-August, 2018.In mid-August, 2018, Jack wishes to spend $100,000, which will include the cost of a new car.. How much can he consume in mid-August, 2017 if the capital market offers an interest rate of 9% per year?Answer:Financials for 2016-17Net profits after tax = $600,000Dividends paid by company = $600,000 * 70% = $420,000Dividends received by William = 420,000 * 12% = $50,400 Financials for 2017-18Net profits after tax = $600,000 * 1.25 = $750,000 Dividends paid by company = $750,000 * 70% = $525,000Dividends received by William = 525,000 * 12% = $63,000PV of dividends to be received in 2017-18 = 63000 / (1.09)^1= $57,798.17 Total income in 2016-17 available = $50,400 + $57,798.17= $108,198.2Since William needs $100,000 for purchase of car in 2017-18, he can consume income above $100,000.Income that can be consumed by Williams in Aug, 2017 = $108,198.2 - $100,000= $8,198.23

Investors require a 12% per annum return on investments such as Big Ideas.

Answer:Current dividend = $1.2Dividend in 2018 = 1.2 * 1.2 = $1.44Dividend in 2019 = 1.44 * 1.15 = $1.65Dividend in 2020 = 1.65* 1.1 = $1.82Dividend in 2021 = 1.82*1.05 = $1.91P0 = D1 / (r-g)Price of share at the end of 2020 = 1.91 / (0.12 – 0.05)= $27.32YearCash flowDiscount ratePV2018$1.4412%$1.282019$1.6512%$1.312020$1.8212%$1.292020$27.3212%$17.36Total Present Value$21.24Hence the price of share of Big Ideas Ltd. in August 2017 is $21.244
