Answer 1

Answer:

A. $40.66

B. $69.86

Explanation:

A. Calculation for what is the current price

Using this formula

Current price=Dividend per share(1+Expected constant rate)/ (Require return percentage-Expected constant rate)

Let plug in the formula

Current price=1.52(1+.07) / (.11-.07)

Current price=1.52(1.07) / (.11-.07)

Current price=1.6264/0.04

Current price=$40.66

Therefore the Current price will be $40.66

b. Calculation for What will the price be in 8 years

Using this formula

Price=Dividend per share(1+Expected constant rate)^Numbes of years/ (Require return percentage-Expected constant rate)

Price=1.52(1+.07)^9/ (.11-.07)

Price=1.52(1.07)^9/ (.11-.07)

Price=2.7945/0.04

Price=$69.86

Therefore What will the price be in 8 years is $69.86
