Question

Gentleman Gym just paid its annual dividend of $3 per share, and it is widely expected that the dividend will increase by 5% per year indefinitely. a. What price should the stock sell at if the discount rate is 15%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What price should the stock sell at if the discount rate is 12%.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the price that should be sell is shown below:

As we know that

Price = dividend × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (discount rate - growth rate)

a. The price is

= $3 × 1.05 ÷ (15% - 5%)

= $31.50

b. Now the price is

= $3 × 1.05 ÷ (12% - 5%)

= $45

Hence, the above represent the answer in both the cases.
