P/B calculation, problem 12, P. 563, Equity? problem, current, correct

Walex

You are give ROE=0.27, current EPS=$1.36, payout ratio=0.67, r=11.5%, g=9%
Find justified P/BV.

The way they did it in the answer is simply using P0/V0 = (ROE - g)/(r-g) = 7.2

However, the correct formula is derived as:

P0 = E0(1+g)(1-b)/(r-g), our good old formula. To find P0/BV0, divide both sides by BV0:

P0/BV0 = E0/BV0(1+g)(1-b)/(r-g), since E0/BV0 = current ROE = 0.27, then

P0/BV0 = 0.27(1.09)(0.67)/(.115-0.09) = 7.89

I think their answer is not correct, what do you think?

This is cool because you can also do the RI valuation, by multiplying by B0:

P/B = 1 + (ROE-r)/(r-g)
V = B + (ROE-r)/(r-g) x B

there was missing B0 in the middle of :
V0 = B0 + B0 x (ROE-r)/((r-g) = B0 x (1 + (ROE-r)/((r-g))

I am finished, I need to recharge myself.

I use P/B = 1 + (ROE-r)/(r-g) as this is sure to be asked. Excess price over book equals excess earnings scaled to PV.

In RI valuation, these meanings get a bit messy. We need to keep a straight head as to the meaning of ROE0, ROE1, BV0, and BV1.

V0 = B0 + (ROE-r)/((r-g)

What's ROE here? Is it EPS0/B0? or EPS1/B0? or EPS1/B1?

one correction, I switched meaning of b and 1-b in my head (temporarily I hope)

g = b x ROE and ROE stays defined as before ROE = E1/BV0

so

BV1 = BV0 + E1 x b = B0 x (1+g)

E1 depends on BV0.... your formula is wrong, dreary..

After making the adjustment as pfc indicated, it is correct. Just divide both side by (1+g) in this equation:

P0/BV0 = E0/BV0(1+g)(1-b)/(r-g)

SFoyil

pfcfaataf, you are right! But a small correction to the above: ROE = E0/BV1.

It's important to realize that when we say ROE we mean NI divided by latest figure for equity, not beginning equity...so it is current EPS divided by ending BV, or BV1.

onelife1

ROE = E1/BV0

BV1 = BV0 + E1x(1-b) = B0 x (1+g)

return on equity, the equity that was available at the beginning to produce earnings at the end of the year.
