Question

ART has come out with a new and improved product. As a result, the firm projects an ROE of 27%, and it will maintain a plowback ratio of 0.20. Its earnings this year will be $4.0 per share. Investors expect a 15% rate of return on the stock. What price do you expect ART shares to sell for in 4 years

Answer 1

Answer:

$41.14

Explanation:

Dividend per share=$4

Divided=1-retained profits=1-.2=.8

Cost of equity=15%

Growth rate=27%*.2=5.4%

The formula is;

Current Stock price=Dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)

Current stock price=4(1-.2)/(.15-.27*.2)=$33.33

Share price after 4 year will be=$33.33(1+.27*.2)^4=$41.14
