Question

If D 0 = $1.75, g (which is constant) = 3.6%, and P 0 = $32.00, what is the stock's expected total return for the coming year?

Answer 1

Stock's expected total return for the coming year is 9.27%

Step-by-step explanation:

P0 = D0(1+g) / (r-g)

$32 = 1.75 * (1 + 3.6%) / (r - 3.6%)

32 = 1.75 * (1.036) / (r - 0.036)

32 = 1.813 / (r - 0.036)

32*(r - 0.036) = 1.813

32r - 1.152 = 1.813

32r = 1.813 + 1.152

32r = 2.965

r = 2.965 / 32

r = 0.09265625

r = 9.265625%

r = 9.27%
