Question

A firm just paid its annual dividend of $1.80 and expects to increase that dividend each year. The discount rate is 11 percent. Which one of these correctly identifies an error when computing the current value of this firm's stock?

a. Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.03): The growth rate exceeds its limitation.
b. Po = ($1.80 x 1.12(0.11 -0.03); The growth rate in the denominator should be 12 percent to match the growth rate in the numerator.
c. Po = ($1.80 x (1 +.09)[0.11 -.09); The growth rate exceeds it limitation for using this formula
d. Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.025); The value of Dt, is incorrect as $1.80 equals Do.

Answer 1

d. Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.025); The value of D1, is incorrect as $1.80 equals Do.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to correctly identifies which one of these is an error when computing the current value of this firm's stock

P0 = $1.80/(0.11 - 0.025)

P0 = $1.80/0.085

P0=$9.76

Therefore Based on the information given Po = $1.80/(0.11 -0.025); because The value of D1, is INCORRECT as $1.80 equals Do.
