Question

The next dividend payment by Hot Wings, Inc., will be $4.25 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 3 percent growth rate forever. Required:If the stock currently sells for $59 per share, what is the required return

Answer 1

10.20%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Gordon constant growth model :

value = D1 / r - g

D1 = next dividend = $4.25

r = required return

g = growth rate = 3%

value = $59

$59 = $4.25 / r - 0.03

4.25 / 59 = r - 0.03

0.072034 = r - 0.03

r = 0.102034

r = 10.20%
