The last annual dividend was $1.30 per share but all future dividends will be decreased by 2.75 percent annually. What is a share of this stock worth today at a required return of 15.5 percent? "
Explanation:
Use dividend discount model (DDM) to calculate the stock price
whereby,
P0 = Current price
D0 = Last dividend paid = 130
g = growth rate = -275% or -2.75 as a decimal
