It is expected that earnings and dividends will grow at a constant rate of g = 3.50% per year and that the stock's price will grow at this same rate. Let us assume that the stock is fairly priced, that is, it is in equilibrium, and the most appropriate required rate of return is rs = 10.00%. The dividend received in period 1 is D1 = $1.00 × (1+0.0350) = $1.04 and the estimated intrinsic value in the same period is based on the D2 constant growth model: P₁: TS-8 Using the same logic, compute the dividends, prices, and the present value of each of the dividends at the end of each period.

It is expected that earnings and dividends will grow at a constant rate of g = 5.00% per year and that the stock's price will grow at this same rate. Let us assume that the stock is fairly priced, that is, it is in equilibrium, and the most appropriate required rate of return is rs = 9.00%.

- A firm pays a 5.80 dividend at the end of year one (d1), has a stock price of 103, and a constant growth rate (g) of 4 percent. Compute the required rate of return (ke).arrow_forwardFranklin Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $1.24 per share at the end of the year (D1 = $1.24). The stock sells for $32.40 per share, and its required rate of return is 7.2%. The dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate, g, forever. What is the equilibrium expected growth rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Please work out the problem do not use excel.arrow_forwardConsider the following for a firm.

A stock price P0=$23, and is expected to pay D1 = $1.242 one year from now and to grow at a constant rate of g=8% in the future. Suppose this analysis was conducted in January 1, 2002, what is the expected price at the end of 2002 and what is the Capital gains yield? Select one: a. P 12/31/02 = $34.24; Capital gains Yield 2002 = $4.50% b. P 12/31/02 = $24.84; Capital gains Yield 2002 = $8.4% c. P 12/31/02 = $21.40; Capital gains Yield 2002 = $18.4% d. P 12/31/02 = $24.84; Capital gains Yield 2002 = $8.0%arrow_forwardAssume that you are a consultant to Broske Inc., and you have been provided with the following data: the next expected dividend is $0.67; the current market price is $42.50 and the constant growth rate for the dividends is 8.00% Based on the information given what is the cost of equity?arrow_forward
- A firm's target dividend is $4.40 and the prior-period dividend is $2.75. What is the change in dividends if the adjustment coefficient (B) is equal to 1? O $-3.30 O $3.30 00 O $1.65arrow_forwardIn the context of DDM, a dividend payout ratio equal to 100% implies that the future growth rate of dividends per share (DPS) will be equal to 0%. a. True b. Falsearrow_forwardReizenstein Technologies (RT) has just developèd a solar panel capable of generating 200% more electricity than any solar panel currently ón the market. As. result, RT is expected to experience a 15% annual growth rate for the next 5 vear By the end of 5 years, other firms will have developed comparable technology, and RT's growth rate will slow to 5% per year indefinitely. Stockholders require a return of 12% on RT's stock. The most recent annual dividend (Do), which was paid yesterday, was $1.75 per share. a. Calculate RT's expected dividends for t 1, t 2, t 3, t = 4, and t 5. b. Calculate the estimated intrinsic value of the stock today, Po. Proceed by finding the present value of the dividends expected at t 1, t 2, t 3, t = 4, and t = 5 plus the present value of the stock price that should exist at t = 5, P,.
