Suppose Compco Systems pays no dividends but spent $ 5.19 billion on share repurchases last year. If Compco's equity cost of capital is 11.5 %, and if the amount spent on repurchases is expected to grow by 8.5 % per year, estimate Compco's market capitalization. If Compco has 6.8 billion shares outstanding, to what stock price does this correspond?

Compco's market capitalization will be $187.71 billion; $27.6 per share.

Explanation:

Market capitalisation:

= CF0(1+g)/(Rs-g)

where,

RS= 11.5% = 11.5/100 = 0.115

g = 8.5% = 8.5/100 = 0.085

= 5.19(1+0.085)÷(0.115-0.085)

= 5.19 × 1.085 /0.03

= $187.71

Compco's market capitalization will be $187.71 billion

stock price:

= 187.71/6.8 = $27.6 per share

Therefore, if Compco has 6.8 billion shares outstanding, this will correspond to a stock price of $27.6 per share.

business modeling is correct

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
