A stock will pay a dividend of amount Y at the end of each year for the next 14 years. At the end of the 15-th year the dividend increases by 1:5% and increases by 1:5% each year thereafter. Assuming an annual e?ective interest rate of 5%, the price of this stock is 123. Determine the value ofY.
Value of "Y" is 5.00
| As per dividend discount model, current share price is the sum of present value of futrue dividends. | |||||||||
| Step-1:Present value of next 14 years dividend | |||||||||
| Present value | = | (1-(1+i)^-n)/i | Where, | ||||||
| = | (1-(1+0.05)^-14)/0.05 | i | = | 5% | |||||
| = | 9.90 | n | = | 14 | |||||
| Step-2:Present value of dividends after year 14 | |||||||||
| Present value | = | D14*(1+g)/(Ke-g)*DF14 | Where, | ||||||
| = | 14.65 | D14 | = | 1.00 | |||||
| g | = | 1.50% | |||||||
| Ke | = | 5% | |||||||
| DF14 | = | 1.05^-14 | = | 0.505068 | |||||
| Step-3:Calculation of sum of present value of future dividends | |||||||||
| Sum of present value of future dividends | = | 9.90 | + | 14.65 | |||||
| = | 24.55 | ||||||||
| Step-4:Calculation of "Y" | |||||||||
| As per dividend discount model, current share price should be $ 24.55 if Value of "Y" is 1.00. | |||||||||
| But, as pe question current share price is 123. | |||||||||
| So, | |||||||||
| Value of Y | = | 123 | / | 24.55 | |||||
| = | 5.01 | ||||||||
