Question

Duff Inc. paid a 2.34 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 1 percent rate and the required rate of return is 11 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?

Answer 1

$24.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the price for 4 years from now is shown below:

Price = Dividend ÷(Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Dividend is

= Dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years

= $2.34 × (1 + 0.01)^5

= $2.46

All the other items would remain the same

So, the price is

= $2.46 ÷ (11% - 1%)

= $24.60
