Question

You expect Technomess Company common stock to pay a dividend of $2.40 one year from now. You can buy the stock now for $52, and you plan to sell the stock at the end of one year. Given the risk of the stock, your required rate of return is 16%. For what price would you need to sell your stock in one year in order to earn your required rate of return

Answer 1

The stock price = $57.92

Step-by-step explanation:

The return on a stock is the sum of the capital gains(loss) plus the dividends earned.

Capital gain is the difference between he value of the stocks when sold and the cost of the shares when purchased.

Total shareholders Return =

(Capital gain/ loss + dividend )/purchase price × 100

16% = ((x-52) + 2.40)/52

0.16×52 = (x-52) + 2.40

8.32 = X- 52 + 2.40

52+8.32-240=X

57.92 = X

$57.92= X

The stock would need to be sold for = $57.92
