Shengyuan Company has just paid a cash dividend of 20 cents per share. Investors require a 16% return from investments such as this. If the dividend is expected to grow at a steady rate of 4% per year, what is the current value of the share? What will the share be worth in five years? Show working out.
P0 = D1/(r – g) = D0 (1 + g)/(r – g)
D0 = 0.20
R = 16%
G = 4%
P0 = 0.20 * (1 + 0.04) / (0.16 - 0.04)
= 0.2080 / 0.12
= 1.7333
Price at the end of 5 years = P0 * (1 + G)^5
= 1.7333 * (1 + 4%)^5
= $2.11
