Twenty years ago, Video Toys began manufacturing and selling coin-operated arcade games. Dividends are currently $2.80 per share, having grown at a 14% percent compound annual rate over the past 10 years. That growth rate is expected to be maintained for the next 2 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at half that rate for 3 years. Beyond that time, Video Toys's dividends are expected to grow at 5 percent per year. What is the current value of a share of Video Toys common stock if your required rate of return is 22%?
Current dividend (D0) = $2.80
Expected growth rate for next 2 years(g) = 14%
Growth rate from year 3 to 5(g1) = 7%
therafter growth rate (g2)= 5%
Required rate of return(Ke) = 22%
Computing Dividend amount from year 1 to year 6:-
Dividend | Formula | Result |
D1 | D0(1+g) | 3.1920 |
D2 | D1(1+g) | 3.6389 |
D3 | D2(1+g1) | 3.8936 |
D4 | D3(1+g1) | 4.1662 |
D5 | D4(1+g1) | 4.4578 |
D6 | D5(1+g2) | 4.6807 |
Calculating the Current Value of Stock:-
P0 = 2.6164 + 2.4448 + 2.1442+1.8806+1.6494+10.1873
P0 = $20.92
So, Current value of share = $20.92
