Company XYZ is expected to pay a cash dividend of $0.50 per share at the end of this year. Investors require a 15% return. If the dividend is expected to grow at a steady 6% per year, what is the current value of a share?
Answer:
The formula for Current value of a share is given by :-
Current value of a share = D1 / ( r - g )
where, D1= Expected Divident per share
r = Required rate of return
g = Growth rate
The following informations were given in the problem:-
Expected divident per share = $0.50
Required rate of return = 15% = 0.15
Growth rate = 6% = 0.06
Current value of a share = 0.50 / ( 0.15 - 0.06)
= 5.56
Therefore, Current value of a share is 5.56
