Sun Corp. is thinking of changing their business model. Currently their beta is 2 and the last dividend paid (yesterday) was $2.00. The growth rate of the dividend is constant at 3. If they change their business model, they believe that they can increase their growth rate of the firm and dividend to 5%( constant). They obviously want to increase this groth rate without sacrificing their current stock price. Currenlty in the risk free rate is 5%, market return is 10% and they expect them to remain the same in the future. What is Sun Corp's current stock price before the changes to the business model?

$17.17

When they change their business model (g changes), what is the value of the beta that will keep the price of their stock at the same old price?

2. a. Lindsell Products recently paid a dividend of $0.80/share. Its beta estimate is 0.8, and its expected dividend growth rate is 5%. Find investors’ required rate of return for this stock, and the stock’s current stock price, if the risk free rate of return is 2%, and the market risk premium is 7%.

b. Now suppose that the management of Lindsell is considering expanding into foreign markets. This planned acquisition is expected to increase the future growth rate of the dividend from its original 5% level, to a new level of 8%. However, because revenues from foreign markets are subject to currency-related swings and more uncertain demand conditions, this change of strategy is expected to raise the firm's beta value to 1.1. Should investors buy more of this stock, or sell their current shares, when they learn about this planned expansion? Explain your answer.
