Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends. 

<span>Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)

</span>where
D1<span> = </span><span>expected annual </span>dividend<span> per share in the following year </span>
<span>k = the investor's discount rate or required </span>rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate 

<u>From the problem:</u>
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08

k is unknown

Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:

k = (D1/P0) + g

Substituting the variables with the given values, 

k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170

In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.

Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$622,000

Explanation:

Annual dividend = 31,100 × 5% × $100 = $155,500

Since it a cumulative preferred stock, it implies that dividend for each of the previous years when dividend were not paid by Sunland Corporation will be accumulated and paid together with the current one.

Since January 2, 2014 to December 31, 2017 is 4 years, that means dividend will be paid to cumulative preferred stock holders for 4 years as follows:

Preferred stockholders dividend for 4 years = $155,500 × 4 = $622,000

Therefore, preferred stockholders are entitled to receive $622,000 in the current year before any distribution is made to common stockholders.

The dividend for the next year = current year dividend x (1+r), where r is 3.5

= (2.8773/38.3) + 0.035

=0.1101 or 11%
