Question

A company pays a constant 6.5 dividend on stock. The dividend will maintain for the next 12 years and cease forever. The required return on the stock is 9.1 percent. What is the current share price?

Answer 1

$46.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the current share price

Using this formula

Current share price=6.5*Present value of annuity factor(9.1%,12)

Present value of annuity=Annuity*[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

Let plug in the formula

Current share price=6.5*[1-(1+0.091)^-12]/0.091

Current share price=6.5*[1-(1.091)^-12]/0.091

Current share price=6.5*7.124793

Current share price=$46.31

Therefore the current share price will be $46.31
