Đáp án · Câu 10
B
Đáp án đúng
A market value-weighted index is most sensitive to Stock Z, and a price-weighted index is most sensitive to Stock X.
Giải thích

The value-weighted index is most sensitive to stocks with the highest market capitalization. Market capitalizations for the individual stocks are:

Stock X: 250 × 100 = 25,000

Stock Y: 130 × 1,000 = 130,000

Stock Z: 11 × 20,000 = 220,000

Stock Z has the highest market capitalization. The price-weighted index is most sensitive to stocks with the highest price. In this case, Stock X has the highest price at 250.

The high "supernormal" growth in the first three years and the decrease in growth thereafter signals that we should use a combination of the multi-period and finite dividend growth models (DDM) to value the stock.

Step 1: Determine the Dividend stream through year 4.

D1 = $3.00 (given)

D2 = D1 × (1 + g) = $3.00 × 1.3 = $3.900

D3 = D2 × (1 + g) = $3.90 × 1.3 = $5.070

D4 = D3 × (1 + g) = $5.07 × 1.07 = $5.425

Step 2: Calculate the value of the stock at the end of year 3 (using D4).

P3=D4/(ke-g) = $5.425/(0.13-0.07) = $90.42

Step 3: Calculate the PV of each cash flow stream at ke = 13%, and sum the cash flows.
