STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $14.74

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the stock today, we can use the constant growth model of DDM. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under the constant growth model of DDM is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g)  /  (r - g)

Where,

  • D0 is the dividend today
  • g is the constant growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return

As the growth rate in this case is negative, so we will enter the negative g.

P0  =  4.7 * (1 - 0.128) / (0.15 + 0.128)

P0 = $14.74244604 rounded off to $14.74
