Calculate the sustainable growth rate (s) based on the PRAT and each PRAT component for 2018. (Use the 2018 ending balances for balance sheet items where needed.) b. Calculate the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for DPS between 2004 and 2018

Answer 1

A. Sustainable growth rate (g)= { (eps-dps)/eps }* { net income/equity}

for 2018, g= { (7.74-4.48)/7.74 } * { 14860/154,554 }

=4.04%

B. Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)= {(future value/ present value)^1/n} -1

hence CAGR of dps from 2004-2018= [4.48/1.53]^1/14-1 = 1.0798-1= 7.98%

C. Share price= {DPS (1+g)} /(discount rate- growth rate)

hence share price of CVX = {4.48 (1+0.05)} / (10%-5%) = 94.08
