Question

You expect a share of EconNews.Com to sell for $65 a year from now. If you are willing to pay $65.74 for one share of the stock today, and you require a return of 8%, what dividend payment must you expect to receive from the stock?

Answer 1

Answer:

dividend payment = $6

Explanation:

given data

sell = $65

pay = $65.74

require a return =  8%

solution

we will use here present value formula that is express as

current stock price ( present value ) = $\frac{future\ value}{1 + rate}$  ........................1

$65.74 = $\frac{65+d}{1+0.08}$

here d is dividend

solve it we get

d = $6.00

so dividend payment = $6
