ANSWER KEY Rubenstein Bros. Clothing is expecting to pay an annual dividend per share of $0.75 out of annual

Rubenstein Bros. Clothing is expecting to pay an annual dividend per share of $0.75 out of annual earnings per share of $2.25. Currently, Rubenstein Bros. stock is selling for $12.50 per share. Adhering to the company’s target capital structure, the firm has $10 million in assets, of which 40% is funded by debt. Assume that the firm’s book value of equity equals its market value. In past years, the firm has earned a return on equity (ROE) of 18%, which is expected to continue this year and into the foreseeable future. 
a. Based on that information, what long-run growth rate can the firm be expected to maintain? (Hint: g = Retention rate x ROE.)

b. What is the stock’s required return? 


c. If the firm changed its dividend policy and paid an annual dividend of $1.50 per share, financial analysts would predict that the change in policy will have no effect on the firm’s stock price or ROE. Therefore, what must be the firm’s new expected long-run growth rate and required return? 

d.

ANSWER KEY Donna Jamison was brought in as assistant to Fred Campo, Computron’s chairman,

MINI CASE The first part of the case, presented in chapter 3, discussed the situation that Computron Industries was in after an expansion program.  Thus far, sales have not been up to the forecasted level, costs have been higher than were projected, and a large loss occurred in 2004, rather than the expected profit.  As a result, its managers, directors, and investors are concerned about the firm’s survival.

Donna Jamison was brought in as assistant to Fred Campo, Computron’s chairman, who had the task of getting the company back into a sound financial position. Computron’s 2003 and 2004 balance sheets and income statements, together with projections for 2005, are shown in the following tables.  Also, the tables show the 2003 and 2004 financial ratios, along with industry average data.  The 2005 projected financial statement data represent Jamison’s and Campo’s best guess for 2005 results, assuming that some new financing is arranged to get the company “over the hump.”

Jamison examined monthly data for 2004 (not given in the case), and she detected an improving pattern during the year.  Monthly sales were rising, costs were falling, and large losses in the early months had turned to a small profit by December.  Thus, the annual data looked somewhat worse than final monthly data.  Also, it appears to be taking longer for the advertising program to get the message across, for the new sales offices to generate sales, and for the new manufacturing facilities to operate efficiently.  In other words, the lags between spending money and deriving benefits were longer than Computron’s managers had anticipated.  For these reasons, Jamison and Campo see hope for the company--provided it can survive in the short run.

Jamison must prepare an analysis of where the company is now, what it must do to regain its financial health, and what actions should be taken.  Your assignment is to help her answer the following questions.  Provide clear explanations, not yes or no answers.
