Answer:
P0 = $122.79185 rounded off to $122.79
Step-by-step explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
- D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on
- g is the constant growth rate in dividends
- r is the discount rate
P0 = 2.1 / (1+0.09) + 3.6 / (1+0.09)^2 + 4.2 / (1+0.09)^3 +
[(4.2 * (1+0.06) / (0.09 - 0.06)) / (1+0.09)^3]
P0 = $122.79185 rounded off to $122.79
