Question

Home Services common stock offers an expected total return of 14.56 percent. The last annual dividend was $2.27 a share. Dividends increase at a constant 2.1 percent per year. What is the dividend yield

Answer 1

Answer:

Dividend yield=10.3%

Explanation:

Mv=Do(1+g)/(Ke-g)

MV=?

Do=2.27

g=2.1%

Ke=14.56%

Mv=2.27(1+2.1%)/(14.56%-2.1%)

MV=2.75/(12.46%)

MV=$22.1

Dividend yield=dividend per share/share price per share

Dividend yield=2.27/22.1

Dividend yield=10.3%
