Question

The next dividend payment by Wyatt, Inc., will be $2.30 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.5 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $39.85 per share, what is the required return? What is the dividend yield? What is the expected capital gains yield?

Answer 1

Answer:

Required return 10.27%

Dividend yield 5.77%

Expected capital gains yield 4.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for required return using this formula

A. R = (D1 / P0) + g

Let plug in the formula

Required return = ($2.30 / $39.85) + .045

Required return = .1027*100

Required return= 10.27%

Therefore Required return is 10.27%

Calculation for dividend yield using this formula

Dividend yield = D1 / P0

Let plug in the formula

Dividend yield = $2.30 / $39.85

Dividend yield = .0577*100

Dividend yield = 5.77%

Therefore Dividend yield is 5.77%

Calculation for the expected capital gains yield

Using this formula

Expected capital gains yield=Required return-Dividend yield

Let plug in the formula

Expected capital gains yield=10.27%-5.77%

Expected capital gains yield=4.5%

Therefore Expected capital gains yield is 4.5%
