On the balance sheet, each company is required to list the value of long-term debt. (Note: Most of the tables in this report are created by accountants. Hence, this report provides book values. But, the book value of debt and the market value of debt are roughly equal.) These can be found on the SEC EDGAR webpage www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. EDGAR stands for Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. Click “Search for Company Filings” then “Search by Company Name.”

Estimate the cost of equity (rE) two different ways:Dividend Growth Model

What is the current annual dividend (D0)? On the Yahoo finance page follow the link for “Historical Prices” and then “Dividends Only.” This table can be exported into Excel to help you do calculations by clicking on “Download to Spreadsheet.”

Embed Excel Spreadsheet showing dividends for the last few years.

Current annual dividend = X

Determine the annual dividend for the past several years. Is there an approximate pattern to the dividends? Are the dividends constant, growing, or uneven?

If the dividends grow over time, find dividend growth (g).

g = X

Find the current stock price (P0).

Using the information above calculate the cost of equity using the constant dividend model or the dividend growth model or state that neither one can be used.

Reason why betas are different.

Estimate β yourself.

Download the historical stock price of your company and use them to calculate returns.

Embed an Excel Spreadsheet showing the stock price and returns with only few lines showing.

Download the historical price of the S&P 500 index to use as an approximation of market performance. Use the prices to find returns.

Embed an Excel Spreadsheet showing the stock price and returns with only few lines showing.

Run a regression in which returns of the company are the dependent variable and S&P 500 index returns are the independent variable. Note: Your estimate of β should be very similar to the βs that you provided above. If it is very different, you are doing something wrong.

Show regression results.
