a. |
$43.32 |
|
b. |
$38.00 |
|
c. |
$12.67 |
|
d. |
$40.67 |
Price of stock = PV of CFs from it.
Particulars | Amount |
D0 | $ 1.14 |
Growth rate | 7% |
Ke | 10% |
Price of Stock is nothing but PV of CFs from it.
Price = D1 / [ Ke - g ]
D1 = D0 ( 1 + g )
= $ 1.14 ( 1 + 0.07 )
= $ 1.14 ( 1.07 )
= $ 1.22
Price = D1 / [ Ke - g ]
= $ 1.22 / [ 10 % - 7 % ]
= $ 1.22 / [ 3 % ]
= $ 40.67
Where
D0 = Just Paid Div
D1 = Expected Div after 1 Year
P0 = Price Today
Ke = Required Ret
g = Growth Rate
Max Price that can be paid for stock is $ 40.67
OPtion D is correct.
