Answer 1

$32.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Brickhouse is expected to pay a dividend of $3.45 and $2.58 over the next 2 years

The company is expected to increaser it's annual dividend at 4.1%

= 4.1/100

= 0.041

Required return is 11.9%

= 11.9/100

= 0.119

Therefore the stock price for today can be calculated as follows

= 2.58(1+0.041)/0.119-0.041

= 2.58(1.041)/0.078

= 2.6857/0.078

= 34.43

3.46/(1+0.119)+2.58/(1+0.119)^2+34.43/(1+0.119)^2

= 3.46/1.119+2.58/1.119^2+34.43/1.119^2

= 3.093+2.060+27.5

= 32.6

Hence the stock price for today is $32.6
