Question

Three Corners Markets paid an annual dividend of $1.42 a share last month. Today, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 1.3 percent annually. If you require a return of 14.6 percent, how much are you willing to pay to purchase one share of this stock today?
A) $10.68
B) $10.82
C) $9.68
D) $11.23
E) $11.57

Answer 1

Answer:

$10.82

Explanation:

The computation of one share of stock is shown below:-

Expected dividend = Annual dividend × (1 + Growth rate)

= $1.42 × (1 + 1.3%)

= $1.42 × 1.013

= $1.44

Stock value = Expected dividend ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)

= $1.44 ÷ (14.6% - 1.3%)

= $1.44 ÷ 13.30%

=  $10.82

Therefore for computing the stock value we simply applied the above formula.
