What is the value of Yutter's stock at the end of Year 1 using the dividend discount model assuming that the dividend payout ratio remains constant and Yutter grows at its sustainable equity growth rate

Answer 1

$557,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Missing word is attached as picture below

Retention Ratio = (Net Income - Dividends) / Net Income

Retention Ratio = (12500 - 3000) / 12500

Retention Ratio = 9500 / 12500

Retention Ratio = 0.76

Retention Ratio = 76%

Sustainable equity growth rate = Retention Ratio * Return on Equity

Sustainable equity growth rate = 76% * 15%

Sustainable equity growth rate = 11.40%

Expected dividend per share = Current Year Dividend *(100 + Growth Rate)%

Expected dividend per share = 3000 * (100+11.4)%

Expected dividend per share = 3000 * 111.4%

Expected dividend per share = 3342

Value of Stock = Expected dividend per share / (Cost of capital equity - Dividend growth rate​)

Value of Stock = 3342 / (12% - 11.40%)

Value of Stock = $557,000
