Question

Poulter Corporation will pay a dividend of $4.25 per share next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 6.75 percent per year, indefinitely. If you require a return of 10 percent on your investment, how much will you pay for the company’s stock today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer 1

Current price of stock = $130.76(Approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dividend paid = $4.25

Required return of return = 10%

Growth rate = 6.75%

Find:

Current price of stock = ?

Computation:

Current price of stock = D1 / (Required return of return - Growth rate)

Current price of stock = 4.25 / (0.1 - 0.0675)

Current price of stock = 4.25 / 0.0325

Current price of stock = $130.76(Approx).
