Question

PandemicsPlus just paid a dividend of $1.00 per share and they consistently grown dividends at 4% annually. Investors require a return of 12% on the firm's equity. What is the current value of the stock?

Answer 1

Answer:

$13

Explanation:

The current value of the stock can be determined using the constant growth dividend model

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

(1 x 1.04) / (0.12 - 0.04) = 13
