expected share price seven years from now?
A) $47.99
B) $24
C) $29.40
D) $30
plz show the process, I will thum you up
1. Share Price after 2 years=D3/(required rate - growth rate)
D3=D0*(1+growth rate)^n=6*((1+8%)^3)=6*1.2597=7.5583
Share Price after 2 years=7.5583/(12%-8%)=$189.0
Option B is correct
2. Dividend yield=5%
Dividend(D0)/Share Price=5%
D0=5%*28=1.4
==> Required rate of return=dividend yield+growth rate
13%=5%+growth rate
growth rate=8%
Sahre price =D7/(required rate - growth rate)
D7=D0*(1+growth arte)^7=1.4*(1+8%)^7=2.3994
Sahre price seven years from now=2.3994/(13%-8%)=$47.99
Option A is correct
