A7X Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.70 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 20 percent for the next eight years and then level off to a growth rate of 5 percent indefinitely. If the required return is 15 percent, what is the price of the stock today

Answer :

Tundexi

Answer:

Dn = Do x (1+g)^n

D1 = 1.70 x (1+0.20)^1  = 2.04

D2 = 1.70 x (1+0.20)^2 = 2.448

Year  Dividend

1            2.040

2          2.448

3            2.938

4            3.525

5            4.230

6            5.076

7            6.091

8            7.310

Price at the end of 8th year = D8 x (1+g)/(Ke- g)

Price at the end of 8th year = 7.310 x (1+0.05)/ (0.15-0.05)

Price at the end of 8th year = $76.755

Year     Cash flows    PV Factor 15%     Present Value

1                2.040           0.8696                  1.77

2 .             2.448             0.7561                  1.85

3               2.938             0.6575                  1.93

4               3.525             0.5718                  2.02

5 .             4.230              0.4972                  2.10

6               5.076              0.4323                  2.19

7                6.091              0.3759                  2.29

8                84.065           0.3269                 27.48  

Total                                                            41.64

Hence,  the price of the stock today is $41.64

The price of the stock today is $41.65.

The two stage growth dividend model would be used to determine the price of the stock today.

First stage:

Value of stock in year 1 = $1.70 x 1.2 = $2.04

Value of stock in year 2 = $1.70 x 1.2² = $2.45

Value of stock in year 3 = $1.70 x 1.2³ = $2.94

Value of stock in year 4 = $1.70 x 1.2^4 = $3.53

Value of stock in year 5 = $1.70 x 1.2^5 = $4.23

Value of stock in year 6 = $1.70 x 1.2^6 = $5.08

Value of stock in year 7 = $1.70 x 1.2^7 = $6.09

Value of stock in year 8 = $1.70 x 1.2^8 = $7.31

Stage 2

Value of the stock in year 8 x (1 + 5%) / (discount rate - growth rate)

$7.31 x 1.05 / (15% - 5%) = $76.75

Determine the present value of the stock. Present value can be determined using a financial calculator.

Present value = $41.65
