It is now January 1, 2004. A multinational corporation has just developed a solar panel capable of generating more electricity than any solar panel currently on the market. As a result, the corporation is expected to experience a 15% annual growth rate for the next 5 years. By the end of 5 years, other firms will have developed comparable technology, and the growth rate will slow to 5% per year indefinitely. Stockholders require a return of 12% on this stock. The most recent annual dividend, which was paid yesterday, was $1.75/share. Calculate the value of the stock today, & the expected return in 2004 and 2009
D0 = 1.75
D1 = 1.75 (1+ 0.15) = 2.0125
D2 = 2.0125 (1+ 0.15) = 2.314375
D3 = 2.314375 (1+ 0.15) = 2.66153125
D4 = 2.66153125 (1+ 0.15) = 3.0607609375
D5 = 3.0607609375 (1+ 0.15) = 3.51987507812
