Question

BioScience Inc. will pay a common stock dividend of $4.60 at the end of the year (D1). The required return on common stock (Ke) is 17 percent. The firm has a constant growth rate (g) of 7 percent. Compute the current price of the stock (P0)

Current Price______________

Answer 1

The current price of the stock is $46

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the gordon growth model to calculate the price of the stock. The formula is

Price= D1/R-G

D1 is the year end dividend

R is the required return on the stock and G is the constant growth rate.

We will plug in the numbers in the formula in order to find the price.

4.60/(0.17-0.07)=46
