Answer:

Explanation:

Next year's dividend (D1) = 1.48

Perpetual growth rate (g) =2.5% or 0.025 as a decimal

Rate of return or discount rate = 12% or 0.12 as a decimal

Since the dividends will be growing at a constant rate with no definite time period, it means that it will grow at that rate forever.

Use present value of growing perpetuity formula to calculate the price of this stock;

Price = D1 /(r-g)

Price = 1.48 / (0.12 - 0.025)

= 1.48/ 0.095

= 15.5789

Therefore the maximum amount you should pay is $15.58

Primary market transactions are IPOs or any other issuance of securities, e.g. bonds.

There is no physical difference between a primary or secondary market, e.g. the NYSE makes both primary and secondary transactions.
