Answer:
$44.87
Explanation:
Use Dividend Discount Model to solve this question;
First, find the dividend per year;
First year's dividend ; D1 = D0(1+g)
D1 = 1.32 (1.30) = 1.716
Second year's dividend ; D2 = 1.716 (1.10) = 1.8876
Third year's dividend ; D3 = 1.8876 (1.05) = 1.9820
Next, find the present value of each dividend at 9% required return;
PV (D1) = 1.716 / (1.09) = <em>1.5743</em>
PV (D2) = 1.8876 /(1.09²) = <em>1.5888</em>
PV (D3 onwards) =
= PV (D3 onwards) = <em>41.7052</em>
Sum up the PVs to find the current market value of the stock;
= 1.5743 + 1.5888 + 41.7052
= 44.8683
Therefore the value is $44.87
