Question

You are interested in buying a share of stock in LMU Company. You expect a dividend payment of $10 next year and that the dividend will grow by 6% per year thereafter. You desire a 8% return on your purchase. According to the Gordon growth model, what is the maximum price you would pay for a share of this stock?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is $500.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Dividend = $10

Growth rate = 6%

Rate of return = 8%

So, we can calculate the Maximum price of the stock by using following formula:

Price of stock = Dividend ÷ ( Rate of return - Growth rate)

By putting the value,

Price of stock = $10 ÷ ( 8% - 6%)

= $10 ÷ 0.02

= $500.
