ddd [48]

Answer:

Price of the stock today = $199.83

Explanation:

The current price of the stock can be computed using the two stage dividend growth model of the DDM approach. The DDM or dividend discount model values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

The formula for the price of the stock today using the two stage growth model is attached.

Price of the stock today = 1.95 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.12) + 1.95 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.12)^2

+ 1.95 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.12)^3 + ... + 1.95 * (1+0.2)^12 / (1+0.12)^12  +  

[ (1.95 * (1+0.2)^12 * (1+0.09)) / (0.12 - 0.09) ] / (1+0.12)^12

Price of the stock today = $199.83

Kitty [74]

Answer:

#1 36,000 preferred

#2 58,000 preferred

#3 58,000 preferred //  17,000 common

#4 50,000 preferred // 74,000 common

this amount declared is not enough, there are still 8,00 in arrears

third year: $ 75,000

there is 58,000 dividends for preferred stock

the rest goes for common stock

fourth year: $ 124,000

there is no arrears so the preferred only receive the 50,000 and the rest goes for common shares.
