(4 pts.) a) What is your estimate of the current stock price? b) What is the target stock price in one year? c) Assuming the company pays no dividends, what is the implied return on the company’s stock over the next year?

Answer 1

(a) 78.96

(b) 82.99

(c) 5.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The current stock price can be calculated as follows

= 3.76 × 21

= 78.96

The target stock price in one year can be calculated as follows

= 3.76(1+5.1%)×21

= 3.76×(1+0.051)×21

= 3.76×1.051×21

= 82.99

The implied return on company's stock over one year can be calculated as follows

= 82.99-78.96/78.96

= 4.03/78.96

= 0.0510× 100

= 5.10
