Note: CVR, Inc., has a book value of equity of $80 and a required rate of return of 10%. Home, Inc., has a book value of equity of $100 and a required rate of return of 11%. If Home, Inc., has a required return for shareholders of 11 percent, what is its appropriate leading price-to-sales (Po/S1) multiple if the firm undertakes the low margin/high volume strategy? A) 0.80. B) 1.00. C) 0.20. D) 1.80. The correct answer was C) g = Retention Rate x Profit Margin x Sales/BV of equity = 0.40 x 0.01 x 20.0 = 0.08. If profit margin is based on the expected earnings next period, P/S = (profit margin x payout ratio)/(r-g) = (0.01x0.60)/(0.11-0.08) = 0.20. 12． Margin and Sales Trade-off for CVR, Inc. and Home, Inc., for Next Year | Firm | Strategy | Retention Rate | Profit Margin | Sales/Book Value of Equity | CVR, Inc. | High Margin / Low Volume | 20% | 8% | 1.25 | CVR, Inc. | Low Margin / High Volume | 20% | 2% | 4.00 | Home, Inc. | High Margin / Low Volume | 40% | 9% | 2.00 | Home, Inc. | Low Margin / High Volume | 40% | 1% | 20.0 |

If CVR, Inc., has a required return for shareholders of 10 percent, what is its appropriate leading price-to-sales (P/S) multiple if the firm undertakes the high margin/low volume strategy? A) 0.20. B) 1.00. C) 1.46. D) 0.80. The correct answer was D) g = Retention Rate x Profit Margin x Sales/BV of equity = 0.20 x 0.08 x 1.25 = 0.02. If profit margin is based on the expected earnings next period, Leading P/S = (profit margin x payout ratio) /(r-g) = (0.08x0.80)/(0.10-0.02) = 0.80. 13．An analyst has gathered the following data about the Garber Company: §
Payout Ratio = 60% §

The correct answer was C) The estimated growth rate is 6.7% [0.1675 * (1 - 0.60)] and PBV ratio based on rate differential will be: P0/BV0 = (ROE1 - g) / (r - g) = (0.1675 - 0.067) / (0.125 - 0.067) = 1.73. 14．The following data was available for Morris, Inc., for the year ending December 31, 2001: §
Sales per share = $150 §
Earnings per share = $1.75 §
Return on Equity = 16%
§

If the expected growth rate in dividends and earning is 4 percent, what will the appropriate price/sales (P/S) multiple be for Morris? A) 0.037. B) 0.073. C) 0.114. D) 0.109. The correct answer was C) Profit Margin = EPS / Sales per share = 1.75 / 150 = 0.01167 or 1.167%. Payout ratio = 1 - (g / ROE) = 1 - (0.04 / 0.16) = 0.75 or 75%. P0 / S0 = [profit margin * payout ratio * (1 + g)] / (r - g) = [0.01167 * 0.75 * 1.04] / (0.12 - .04) = 0.11375. 15．The Farmer Co. has a payout ratio of 70 percent and a return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent.
