You are willing to make a 10,000 \$ investment in equity. You have the three following alternatives for investing that money: 1. Bank of America bonds with a par value of 1000$, that pays 6.35% on its par value in interest, sells for 1020$ and matures in 5 years. 2. Southwest Bancorp preferred stock paying a dividend of 2.63$ and selling for 26.25$ on the market. 3. Emerson Electric common stock selling for 52$ on the market, with a par value of 5$. The stock recently paid a 1.60$ dividend and the firm's earnings per share has increased from 2.23$ to 3.30$ in the past 5 years. The firm expects to grow at the same rate for the foreseeable future. Your required rates of return for these investments are 5% for the bond, 8% for the preferred stock, and 12% for the common stock. Using this information, answer the following questions: - a: Calculate the value of each investment based on your required rate of return. - b: Which investment would you select, and why? - c: Assume Emerson Electric's managers expect earnings to grow at 1\% above the historical growth rate. How does this affect your answers to parts a and b? - d: What required rates of return would make you indifferent to all three options
