A team of analysts is using a two-stage variable growth model to
estimate the value of GNC's common stock. The most recent
annual dividend paid by GNC was $4 per share. The analysts
expect dividends to increase 7% per year for the next 3 years
and then drop to 3% starting in year 4 and remain at that rate
for the foreseable future. The required rate of return used for
the analysis is 8%.
a) What are the expected dividends for the next 4 years?
b) What is the value of the stock attributable to the first 3 years
of dividends? (use NPV function)
c) What is the value of the stock at the end of year 3? (use
constant-growth model) Use a cell reference in the numerator to
get an unrounded, more precise, answer figure.
d) What is the value of the stock attributable to years 4 and
beyond? (use pv function, where answer to part C is the fv)
e) What is the total value of GNC stock?
