Use the appropriate excel formula to find the price of a share of common stock that is expected to pay a dividend of $2 next year. Dividends are expected to grow at 4 percent through year 3, then at 3 percent for 2 years, and then 2 percent forever. Assume that stockholders require a 10 percent return.
Reminder: do not use excel as a calculator use the functions that are built into the program.
First we compute the dividends till year 5 and the price at year 5 which is the horizon value.
Year | Dividend | Horizonvalue | Net CF |
0 | 0 | ||
1 | 2 | 2 | |
2 | 2.08 | 2.08 | |
3 | 2.1632 | 2.1632 | |
4 | 2.228096 | 2.228096 | |
5 | 2.294939 | 29.26047 | 31.55541 |
6 | 2.340838 |
