The Lost Continent Store pays a constant dividend. Last year, the dividend yield was 5.75 percent when the stock was selling for $67.5 a share. What must the stock price be today if the market currently requires a 5.25 percent dividend yield on this stock?
Given that- | ||
Price last year = | 67.5 | |
Dividend yield = | 5.75% | |
we know that dividend yield = Dividend/ Price of the stock | ||
therefore dividend = 67.5*5.75%= | 3.8813 | |
Dividend yield now = | 5.25% | |
Therefore price today = 3.8813/5.25% | 73.93 | |
Ans = option C. | 73.93 |
