Answer:
BenchMark, Inc.
The current share price for the stock is:
$43.13
Explanation:
Dividend per share = $3.45
Growth rate = 5%
Investors' required rate of return = 13%
Stock value = Dividend per share / (Required Rate of Return – Dividend Growth Rate)
= $3.45/(0.13 - 0.05)
= $43.13
b) To determine BenchMark, Inc.'s current share price divide the dividend per share by the required rate of return after subtracting the growth rate from the required rate of return.
Answer:
$54.35
Explanation:
The computation of the price per share of the common stock is shown below:
= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Next year dividend is
= $3.23 + $3.23 × 4.2%
= $3.23 + 0.13566
= $3.37
And, the other items would remain the same
So, the price per share is
= $3.37 ÷ (10.4% - 4.2%)
= $3.37 ÷ 6.2%
= $54.35
