Question

Synovec Corporation is expected to pay the following dividends over the next four years: $6.60, $17.60, $22.60, and $4.40. Afterward, the company pledges to maintain a constant 5.25 percent growth rate in dividends forever. If the required return on the stock is 7 percent, what is the current share price?

Answer 1

Answer: $245

Explanation:

If the required return on the stock is 7 percent, the current share price would be calculated as:

= 6.60/1.07 + 17.60/1.07^2 + 22.60/1.07^3 + 4.40/1.07^4 + [(4.4 × 1.0525) / (7%-5.25%)] / 1.07^4

= $245.23

= $245 approximately

Therefore, the current share price will be $245
