Question

ACE Co. stock is not paying a dividend today, but has announced it will start paying a dividend in year 4 of $2.00 per share, and that will increase 5% per year forever. What is an estimate of the price of the stock today if r

Answer 1

$77.22

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question and found that Re = 9%

Div₀ = 0

Div₁ = 0

Div₂ = 0

Div₃ = 0

Div₄ = $2

the terminal value at year 3 = Div₄ / (Re - g) = $4 / (9% - 5%) = $100

in order to determine the current stock price we must discount $100 by 9% for 3 periods = $100 / 1.09³ = $77.22
