Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends.
<span>Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)
</span>where
D1<span> = </span><span>expected annual </span>dividend<span> per share in the following year </span>
<span>k = the investor's discount rate or required </span>rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate
<u>From the problem:</u>
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08
k is unknown
Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:
k = (D1/P0) + g
Substituting the variables with the given values,
k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170
In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.
Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.
Expert power is a function of the amount of knowledge one possesses relative to the rest of the members of a group.
Explanation:
- It is a level of goods and services provided by the country in a specific period
- Certain factors associated with the economic growth are
1. Natural resources: Every country must protect their land forms so that the natural resources like oil or mineral can be obtained adequately and thus it can boost the economy of the country
2. Infrastructure: Creating an successful infrastructure make goods and services faster and thus increasing the economic growth.
3. Higher population: There are both advantages and disadvantages. We have high man power and on the other side there might be huge unemployment too.
Culture is closely associated with the branch of economy because it can turn the country upside down. Because, it is the culture which decides the like and unlike of a particular product.
