Question

Holtzman Clothiers's stock currently sells for $40.00 a share. It just paid a dividend of $3.00 a share (i.e., D0 = $3.00). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 10% a year.

What stock price is expected 1 year from now? Round your answer to two decimal places. $

What is the required rate of return? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. %

Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D₀, of $1.25. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 12% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 5% thereafter. The firm's required return is 14%.

1. How far away is the horizon date?
   1. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2.
   2. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
   3. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
   4. The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero.
   5. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero.
   
   
2. What is the firm's horizon, or continuing, value? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

3. What is the firm's intrinsic value today,  ? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Ques-1)

Current Price of Share(P0) = $40

Dividend just paid (D0) = $3

Growth rate of dividend(g) = 10% per year forever

Calculating Required rate of Return:-

Ke = 18.25%

So, Required rate of Return is 18.25%

b). Expected price 1 year from now:-

P1 = $44

So, Stock Price 1 year from Now is $44

Ques-2)

- Dividend just paid (D0) = $1.25

Growth rate for 2 years(g) = 12%

Growth rate thereafter(g1) = 5%

Required rate of Return(Ke) = 14%

D1 = D0(1+g) =$1.25(1+0.12)

= $1.40

D2 = D1(1+g) = $1.40*(1+0.12)

= $1.568

a). Horizon date is the date when the Growth rate becomes Constant. It occurs at the end of year 2.

Hence, option 2

b). Calculating the Firm's Horizon value:-

HV = $18.29

So, Horizon Value is $18.29

c). Calculating the Firm's Intrinsic Value:-

Price = $1.2281 + $1.2065 + $14.0736

Price = $16.51

So, Firm's intrinsic Value = $16.51
