Session 12: Equity Investments: Valuation Models Reading 43: Residual Income Valuation
LOS c: Calculate future values of residual income given current book value, earnings growth estimates, and an assumed dividend payout ratio.
Expert Systems (ES) has a beginning book value per share of $6.00, an expected growth rate of 15 percent, current earnings per share of $1.50, and a required rate of return of 17 percent. Assuming that the dividend remains constant at $0.75 per share, what is next year’s expected residual income per share?
EPS next year = 1.50 × 1.15 = $1.73. Forecast book value per share = BV0 + EPS – D = 6.00 + 1.50 – 0.75 = $6.75. The per share equity charge is 6.75 × 0.17 = $1.15. Thus, residual income is expected to be 1.73 – 1.15 = $0.58. |
