hudson corporation will pay a dividend of $2.80 per share next year. the company pledges to increase its dividend by 7.40 percent per year indefinitely. if you require a return of 15.40 percent on your investment, how much will you pay for the company's stock today? multiple choice $32.59 $33.60 $11.43 $35.00 $36.40

Answer 1

Option d. $35.00 is the share price that one should pay for the stock today to get the required return

The share price, or the price you will pay for the company's stock right now, can be calculated using the necessary rate of return calculation, the formula is as follows:

RRR=(EDP/SP)+DGW

where;

RRR=required rate of return

EDP=expected dividend payment from share

SP=share price

DGW=dividend growth rate

In our case:

RRR=15.40%=15.4/100=0.154

EDP=$2.80

SP=unknown

DGW=7.40%=7.40/100=0.074

Substituting the values in the formula we get the following:

0.154=(2.80/SP)+0.074

(0.154-0.074)=(2.80/SP)

0.08=2.80/SP

SP=2.80/0.08

So, the share price of the stock=$35
