Kathleen Ferrero is interested in purchasing the ordinary shares of Vespertine Pty Ltd which are currently priced at $39.96. The company expects to pay a dividend of $2.58 next year and expects to grow at a constant rate of 8 per cent. a What should the market value of the share be if the required rate of return is 14 per cent? b Is this a good buy? Why or why not?
Price of the share can be calculated by using dividend discount model by using below formula
P = D1/(k-g)
Where
D1 is year 1 dividend = 2.58
K is expected return = 14%
G is growth rate =8%
price = 2.58/(0.14-0.08) = 43
So market value would be 43 which is selling for 39.96 so it is a good buy
