Answer:
a. The price of the stock today is $24.75
b. The price of the stock in three years will be $28.65
c. The price of the stock in 14 years will be $49.00
Explanation:
The stock is a constant dividend paying stock so the constant growth model of the DDM will be used to calculate the price of the stock. The formula for constant growth model to calculate price of the stock today is:
P0 = D1 / r - g
Where,
- D1 is the dividend next year of D0 * (1+g)
- r is the required rate of return
- g is the growth rate in dividends
a.
The current price of the stock is:
P0 = 1.65 * (1+0.05) / (0.12 - 0.05)
P0 = $24.75
b.
To calculate the price of the stock today, we use the expected dividend for the next period. To calculate the stock price in three years, we will use D4.
P3 = 1.65 * (1+0.05)^4 / (0.12 - 0.05)
P3 = $28.65
c.
To calculate the price in 14 years, we will use D15.
P14 = 1.65 * (1+0.05)^15 / (0.12 - 0.05)
P14 = $49.00
Henry ford used the moving assembly line to increase production by having a long line of employees and everyone working on just one job on each car. For example someone would put the wheels and someone would put mirrors. It was used to increase production while making products at a fast rate.
