Ray Inc. company is not expected to pay any dividends for three years while it attempts to restructure its business. They anticipate paying $1.30 in year four and thereafter growing at a rate of 6%. What should we pay for the stock if we demand a 14% rate of return?
First of all let's find horizon value
Horizon value = Dividend of year 5/Ke-g
Ke = required rate of return = 14%
g = growth rate = 6%
Dividend of year 5 = Dividend of year 4(1+g)
=1.3(1+6%)
=1.3(1+0.06)
=1.3(1.06)
=1.3780$
Thus Horizon Value = 1.3780/14%-6%
=1.3780/8%
=17.2250$
