Question

The U.S. Treasury has Kleine Toymakers is introducing a new line of robotic toys, which it expects to grow their earnings at a much faster rate than normal over the next three years. After paying a dividend of $2.00 last year, it does not expect to pay a dividend for the next three years. After that Kleine plans to pay a dividend of $4.00 in year 4 and then increase the dividend at a rate of 10 percent in years 5 and 6. What is the present value of the dividends to be paid out over the next six years if the required rate of return is 15 percent

Answer 1

Answer:

The present  value of the dividends to be paid out over the next six years if the required rate of return is 15 percent is $6.57

Explanation:

Solution:

Given that

The present value =∑ ⁿ t=1 cf/ (1 +r)t

where cf= cash flow

r =the required rate of return

t = the number of years

Now

The present value will be:

cf₁/(1+r)^1 + cf₂/(1 +)^2 + cf₃/(1+r)3 + cf₄/(1 +r)^4) + cf₅/(1 +r)^5 + cf₆/(1+r)^6

Hence,

cf₁, cf₂ cf₃ = 0 as the firm does not expect to pay dividend in the next three years
