Question

You are considering acquiring a common share of Sahali Shopping Center Corporation that you would like to hold for 1 year. You expect to receive both $1.70 in dividends and $30 from the sale of the share at the end of the year. The maximum price you would pay for a share today is __________ if you wanted to earn a 12% return.

Answer 1

Answer: $28.30

Explanation:

Given the following :

Expected Dividend = $1.70

Earning from share sale at year end = $30

Expected rate of return on investment = 12%

Maximum price of stock :

(Earning from share + expected Dividend) / (1 + return rate)

(30 + 1.70) / ( 1 + 12%)

(30 + 1.70) / (1 + 0.12)

(31.70) / (1.12)

= $28.303571

= $28.30
