Po = D/Rs $51.40 = $3.80/Rs Rs = 7.39%
2. The Francis Company is expected to pay a dividend of D1 = $1.25 per share at the end of the year, and that dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% per year in the future. The company's beta is 1.15, the market risk premium is 5.50%, and the risk-free rate is 4.00%. What is the company's current stock price?
Po = D1/(Rs-g) Rs = 4% + (5.5%)1.15 = 10.325% Po = 1.25/(.10325-.06) Po = 28.90
3. Nachman Industries just paid a dividend of $1.32. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, by 10% in Year 2, and at a constant rate of 5% in Year 3 and thereafter. The required return on this low-risk stock is 9.00%. What is the stock’s current market value?
D1 = 1.716 D2 = 1.8876 D3 = 1.98198
P2 = 1.98198/(.09-.05) = 49.5495
Po = 1.716/(1.09) + (1.8876+49.5495)/(1.09)^2 Po = 44.87
