Benning common stock recently paid a $4.00 dividend. The dividend growth rate over the past 10 years has been 5.00%. The market required rate of return over the past five years has been 11.00% and continues to be the required rate of return.
What was the price of Benning stock 3 years ago?
What is the expected price from 5 years from today, assuming the dividend growth remains constant?
price three years ago = dividend two years ago / (required rate - growth rate)
dividend two years ago = recent dividend / (1+ growth rate)^2
=>4 / (1.05)^2
=>3.62811791.
price three years ago = 3.62811791 / (0.11-0.05)
=>$60.47.
second part:
price 5 years from today:
first let us know the price today => dividend just paid *(1+ growth rate) / (required return - growth rate)
=>$4 *(1.05) / (0.11-0.05)
=>$70.
expected price 5 years from today = current price *(1+ growth rate)^5
=>$70*(1.05)^5
=>$89.34.
