Answer 1

Answer:

the  one share of this stock worth today is $3.15

Explanation:

The computation of the  one share of this stock worth today is shown below:

= Dividend per share ÷ (1 + required rate of return^years) + Dividend per share ÷ (1 + required rate of return^years) + Dividend per share ÷ (1 + required rate of return^years)

= ($1.20 ÷ 1.07^1) + ($1.20 ÷ 1.07^2) + ($1.20 ÷ 1.07^3)

= $3.15

hence, the  one share of this stock worth today is $3.15
