A machine would cost $142,000 and the depreciation of $98,000
Answer:
The price of the stock today is $42.94
Explanation:
The price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate is calculated using the constant growth model of Dividend Discount model approach. It bases the price of the stock on the present value of the expected future dividends. The price today under this model is calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / r - g
Where,
- D0 * (1+g) is the D1 or the dividend for the next year
- r is the required rate of return
- g is the growth rate in dividends
P0 = 4 * (1+0.052) / (0.15 - 0.052)
P0 = $42.938 rounded off to $42.94
