Investors require a 15% rate of return on Levine Company’s stock (that is, rs = 15%). Suppose the previous dividend was D0 = $2. What is the value of the company’s stock if investors expect dividends to grow at a constant annual rate in each of the following scenarios: (1) –5%, (2) 0%, (3) 5%, or (4) 10%? Using data from question a, what would the Gordon (constant growth) model value be if the required rate of return was 15% and the expected growth rate was (1) 15% or (2) 20%? Are these reasonable results? Explain. Is it reasonable to think that a constant growth stock could have g > rs? Explain.
