Question

he next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $5.05 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 5 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $43 per share, what is the required return

Answer 1

Answer:

16.74%

Explanation:

Current Price = Expected Dividend / (Required Return - Growth Rate)

Required Return = (Expected Dividend / Current Price) + Growth rate

Required Return = ($5.05 / $43) + 5%

Required Return = 0.1174419 + 0.05

Required Return = 0.1674419

Required Return = 16.74%
