John is considering investing in the common stocks of Abarino Inc. Since the company has recently started its operations, it is not expected to pay any dividends for the next 4 years. In Year 5, the company is expected to distribute a dividend of $2.0913. Beginning in Year 5, the companys dividend growth rate, g, is expected to be 5% and remain at that level into perpetuity. John uses 12% as the required rate of return for investing in this company.

(a) What should the stock price of Abarino Inc. be now according to the dividend discount model? (5 marks)

Suppose that Abarino Inc. has the following bonds outstanding:

1) Zero coupon bonds with exactly 10 years to maturity currently selling at $625 with par

value of $1,000 for each zero coupon bond, while the total par value of all the zero

coupon bonds is $75,000,000

2) 5% coupon bonds with around 14 years to maturity currently selling at a price of

$1,070 and YTM (Yield to Maturity) of 3.86% with par value of $1,000 for each 5% coupon bond. The total par value of all 5% coupon bonds is $105,000,000

Assume that the tax rate is 35% for Abarino Inc.

(b) Ignore the effect of taxation, calculate the YTM of the zero coupon bonds. (Note: Even on

zero coupon bonds, the payments are assumed to be semiannual.) (5 marks)

(c) Calculate the total after-tax cost of debt for the entire company. (5 marks)
