A stock is expected to grow at a rate of 22% for the
next three years. A recent dividend paid was $1.35 per share. After
three years, the stock is expected to grow at a constant rate of
12% per year. If the minimum acceptable rate of return is 14%, what
is the current expected price? Show all work.
D1=(1.35*1.22)=1.647
D2=(1.647*1.22)=2.00934
D3=(2.00934*1.22)=2.4513948
Value after year 3=(D3*Growth rate)/(Required return-Growth rate)
=(2.4513948*1.12)/(0.14-0.12)
=137.278109
Hence current price=Future dividend and value*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=1.647/1.14+2.00934/1.14^2+2.4513948/1.14^3+137.278109/1.14^3
=$97.30(Approx)
