Capital Fashion Ltd bonds (apparel retailers), with a face value of $1,000 and a coupon interest rate of 8.75% are selling for $1,314 and mature in 12 years. Agri Credit Ltd (financial services provider) preference shares are paying a dividend of $2.50 and selling for $25.50 Southern Cross Electrical Ltd (electrical appliances manufacturer) ordinary shares are selling for $36.75. The shares recently paid a $1.32 dividend and the company's earnings per share have increased from $1.49 to $3.06 in the past five years. The firm expects to grow at
the same rate for the foreseeable future.
Your client's required rates of return for these investments are 6% for the bond, 7% for preference shares and 15% for the ordinary shares. Using the above information, answer the following questions:
1. Calculate the value of each investment based on the required rate of return.
