Section C (4 Mark)
J&M had a return on equity of 31.5% in 1993, and paid out 37% of its earnings as dividends. The stock had a beta of 1.25. (The treasury bill rate is 6%.) The extraordinary growth is expected to last for ten years, after which the growth rate is expected to drop to 6% and the return on equity to 15% (the beta will move to 1).
Assuming the return on equity and dividend payout ratio continue at current levels for the high growth period, estimate the P/BV ratio for J&M.
