The company adheres to a constant rate of growth dividend policy. What will one share of this common stock be worth five years from now if the applicable discount rate is 11.7 percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

share price at 5 year is $45.19

Explanation:

given data

annual dividend D1 = $2.86

paid a dividend Do = $2.75

discount rate K = 11.7 percent

to find out

share price of common stock be worth five years

solution

first we get here growth rate that is express as

growth rate = $\frac{current\ dividend-previous\ dividend}{previous\ dividend}$   ..................1

put here value we get

growth rate = $\frac{2.86-2.75}{2.75}$

growth rate = 4%

so here dividend at 6 year will be

Dn = Do × $(1+g)^{n}$    .............2

D6 = 2.75 × $(1+0.04)^{6}$

D6 = $3.48

so share price at five year will be

P5 = $\frac{D6}{discount\ rate- growth\ rate}$   .................3

P5 = $\frac{3.48}{0.117-0.04}$

P5 = $45.19

so share price at 5 year is $45.19
