Chapter 8, Problem 33QP
Stock Valuation [LO1] Most corporations pay quarterly dividends on their common stock rather than annual dividends. Barring any unusual circumstances during the year, the board raises, lowers, or maintains the current dividend once a year and then pays this dividend out in equal quarterly installments to its shareholders.
a. Suppose a company currently pays an annual dividend of $3.60 on its common stock in a single annual installment, and management plans on raising this dividend by 3.8 percent per year indefinitely. If the required return on this stock is 10.5 percent, what is the current share price?
b. Now suppose the company in (a) actually pays its annual dividend in equal quarterly installments; thus, the company has just paid a dividend of $.90 per share, as it has for the previous three quarters. What is your value for the current share price now? (Hint: Find the equivalent annual end-of-year dividend for each year.) Comment on whether you think this model of stock valuation is appropriate.

Because of the productive policies and processes instituted byUamoca, capital market investors anticipate that Doldrums's earnings anddividends will increase at a constant 8 percent rate beginning immediately.

[Question 2] The firm ABC currently pays no dividends
to shareholders. Its stock is, however, expected to pay
the dividend of ¥ 80 per share a year from today.
Thereafter, the dividend is expected to grow at an
annual rate of 10% for the next four years and from the
fifth year from today, it grows at a constant rate of 3%
per year thereafter. Assuming the appropriate discount
rate is 12%, answer the following sub- questions. (2a)
Calculate the present value of dividends paid from the
next year to the fifth year from today. (2b) Calculate the
present value of dividends paid from the sixth year from
today and thereafter. Then estimate the intrinsic value
of the ABC stock today. If the market price of the stock is
equal to the intrinsic value, what is the expected
dividend yield today? (2c) What do you expect the stock
price to be in one year from now? Confirm the expected
rate of return, which is the sum of dividends yield and
capital gains yield, is equal to the discount rate.
