Answer:
1. Year 1 expected value = $32.24
2. Required rate of return = 7.35%
Explanation:
1. For computing the stock price which is expected 1 year from now is shown below:
= Current Price × (1+rate)^number of years
= $31 × (1+0.04)^1
= $31 × 1.04
= $32.24
Hence, the expected 1 year value of stock price is $32.24
2. The required rate of return is computed by using an formula which is shown below:
= (Current Year dividend ÷ Current stock price)+ growth rate
where,
current year dividend is = D1
And, D1 = DO × (1+g)
where,
DO = previous dividend share
g = growth rate
So, $1 × (1+0.04)
= $1 × 1.04
= $1.04
Now apply these values to the above formula
So, required rate of return is equals to
= ($1.04 ÷ $31) + 0.04
= 7.35%
Hence, the required rate of return is 7.35%
