Strong Quote styles Dictate Create and Share Request Pane Adobe PDF Signatures Finance Q3 Question 3. The quarterly investors call is approaching and you were asked to comment on the EPS and projected EPS based on the growth forecast of 10%. (a) Compute the EPS for the Current Fiscal Year (b) What is the projected EPS with the same assumptions as in Question _? You are a bit skeptical of the projected 10% growth in sales and decided to look at a much less aggressive long-run growth scenario of 3.5% growth in sales. (c) What is the projected EPS for a 3.5% growth in sales? If the dividend payout ratio remains the same, how much is paid per share? As some external financing will be needed to accommodate any growth, you started looking into raising debt and/or equity. Since your company would be mostly described as a small- cap US company, you looked at market data to help you determine your costs of equity and debt.

Do you think this is a reliable number? If so, why not? In order to determine your cost of debt, you decided to look at your long term debt, which is structured as a single 20yr bond with semi-annual coupons, a coupon rate of 10%, and is currently trading at 83%.
