IN Dec 2008 EXAM QUESTION 1: THE ANSWER from examiner AS FOLLOWS:
If the dividend yield remains at 6% per year (100 x 15·0/250), the dividend per share for 2008 will be 15·6p (other estimates of the 2008 dividend per share are possible). Adding this to the capital gain of 20p gives a total shareholder return of 35·6p or 14·24% (100 x 35·6/240). This is greater than the cost of equity of 10% and so shareholder wealth has increased.
i donot understand why the denominator using 2.40. if it is correct the TSR=14.83% not 14.24%
It is a mistake.
The denominator should be 2.50. This then does give 14.24%.
Regards
JohnJohn, thanks for your quick reply. i do not understand why it is 2.5. after the rights issue, the price is 2.40. What is the correct meaning of share price at start? what does “start” exactly mean ?
thanks very much
