Kettle Korn, is planning on paying a $1.50 dividend one year from today. Starting 2 years from today, the dividend will be a constant $2.25 per share per year. What is the market price of this stock if the market rate of return is 12%? Select one: a. $18.08 b. $16.67 c. $17.60 d. $16.08 e. $15.47
Expected Dividend ( D1) = $ 1.5
Given in the Question from 2nd year onwards there is a Constant dividend of $ 2.25 per share.
Present value of the amount at the end of Year 1 = $ 2.25/ i
= $ 2.25/0.12
= $ 18.75
Current Market Price of a stock = Present value of the future cash inflows
= ($ 1.5+$ 18.75)/( 1+i)
= $ 20.25/1.12
= $ 18.0803
Hence Current Market Price of a stock is $ 18.0803.Hence option a) $ 18.0803 is correct.
If you have any doubt,please post a comment.
