问题如下:

The dividend policy of Berkshire Gardens Inc. can be represented by a gradual adjustment to a target dividend payout ratio. Last year Berkshire had earnings per share of $3.00 and paid a dividend of $0.60 a share. This year it estimates earnings per share will be $4.00. Find its dividend per share for this year if it has a 25 percent target payout ratio and uses a five-year period to adjust its dividend.

选项:

A.

$0.68.

B.

$0.80.

C.

$0.85.

解释:

The estimated dividend per share is $0.68.

Previous DPS = $0.60

Expected increase in EPS = $4 – $3 = $1

Target payout ratio = 0.25

Five-year adjustment factor = 1/5 = 0.2

Expected dividend = Previous dividend + (Expected earnings×Target payout ratio–Previous dividend)×Adjustment factor

= $0.60 + [($4.00×0.25–$0.60)×0.2] = $0.60 + $0.08 = $0.68

This year it estimates earnings per share will be $4.00.请问怎么理解这句话呢?这句话的意思难道不应该是预计今年的EPS是4吗?

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


1

"This year it estimates earnings per share will be $4.00",并不是说今年的 EPS 是 4,而是说站在今年的时间点,预测第五年的 EPS 是 4

也就是公式中的 expected earnings

2

如果考试考查这个知识点,题干会告诉相关数据,其中,expected earnings 只有一个数据,题干不会告诉两个 expected earnings 哈

也请参考基础班讲义墨迹版 P49
