Avocado Incorporated just paid a dividend of $3. An analyst expects this dividend to grow at a rate of 12% for the next 3 years.

After this initial growth stage, the firm is expected to grow at a rate of 5% forever. The required return on this stock is 8%. Given the analyst’s projections, what is the most you should pay for this stock? Round to the nearest cent. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer. (i.e. If your answer were $1.23, then type 1.23 without a $ sign)

Answer:

The most you should pay for this stock is 126.89

Explanation:

The dividend in years 1 – 3 will grow at 12% and then at 5% forever.

We had to get the PV for the dividends in years 1-3 (year 3 also includes the estimated future value of the stock).

We used our calculators to find the PV of each year at the 8% discount rate. Finally we will add them all together to get the final answer.

We find the future dividends using g =12%

Dividend in year 0 --->

Dividend in year 1 ---> 3.36

Dividend in year 2 ---> 3.76

Dividend in year 3 ---> 4.21

Dividend in year 4 ---> 4.43

Now we will calculate the present value of the future dividends using r = 8%

Stock Value assuming constant growth rate = 147.52 --(a)

PV in year 1 ---> 3.11

PV in year 2 ---> 3.23

PV in year 3 ---> 120.45 --(discounting (a))

= 120.45 + 3.23 + 3.11

= 126.89

sdas [7]

the answer is: the community could establish norms or even common laws that limits deforestation.

Most people would not fear of conducting a certain thing if there is not negative impact that they can feel after doing it. Establishing social pressure or common laws for people who conducting deforestation could make them either feel guilty or fear. Both can be effective in limiting the number of deforestation.

Missing Question Data:

As the Question is missing relevant data, I have searched for it online and found a question similar. The data is attached in a picture file. It might be a little different from your actual question but same approach can be used to solve the question.

Answer with Explanation:

For simplicity, we denote the compensations with variable <em>x </em>and the stock return with variable <em>y.</em> Let us first find the mean and standard deviation for both compensation (x) and return (y).

Mean of Compensation (<em>x) </em> will be,

$X\;=\;\frac{26.43\;+\;12.03\;+\;19.74\;+\;13.54\;+\;11.97\;+\;11.41\;+\;25.94\;+\;14.46\;+\;17.13\;+\;14.71}{10}$

$X\; = \;16.737$

Mean of Stock Return (y) will be,

$Y\;=\;\frac{5.43\;+\;30.89\;+\;31.89\;+\;80.06\;-\;8.22\;+\;2.89\;+\;4.39\;+\;10.95\;+\;4.18\;+\;11.94}{10}$

$Y\;=\;17.44$

Standard Deviation for Compensation (x) is given by,

$\sigma _{x}\;=\;\sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_{i}-X)^{2}}{N}}$

$\sigma _{x}\;=\;\sqrt{\frac{(26.43-16.73)^{2}+(12.03-16.73)^{2}+....+(14.71-16.73)^{2}}{10}}$

$\sigma _{x}\;=\;5.30$

Standard Deviation for Compensation (x) is given by,

$\sigma _{y}\;=\;\sqrt{\frac{\sum (y_{i}-Y)^{2}}{N}}$

$\sigma _{y}\;=\;\sqrt{\frac{(5.43-17.44)^{2}+(30.89-17.44)^{2}+....+(11.94-17.44)^{2}}{10}}$

$\sigma_{y}\;=\;23.97$

To find the predicted stock return, we have to use the equation for of line of regression,

$y_{required}\;-\;Y\;=\;z\;*\;\frac{\sigma _{x}}{\sigma _{y}}\;*\;(x_{required}-X)\;.........\;(1)$

where,

$z\; =\;Correlation\;coefficient\;=\;-0.2426\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;(given)$

$x_{required}\;=\;Compensation\;of\;\$15\;million\;=\;15$

$y_{required}\;=\;Stock\;return\;at\;x_{required}$

Equation (1) will become,

$y_{required}\;-\;17.44\;=\;-0.2426\;*\;\frac{5.30}{23.97}\;*\;(15\;-\;16.73)$

$y_{required}\;=\;-0.054*\;(-1.73)\;+\;17.44\;$

$y_{required}\;=\;17.533$ .
