(Stocks) ABC Corp has a 10.7% return on equity and reinvests (retains) 34% of its profits. What is the intrinsic value of the company's share of stock, to the nearest penny, if the required rate of return is 12.58% and the most recent annual dividend per share (D0) was $2.27? If your answer is, e.g., $45.365, record it as 45.37.
Growth rate = Return on Equity*Retention ratio
= 10.7%*34%
= 3.638%
Intrinsic value = Expected Dividend in year1/(Required return - growth rate)
= 2.27*(1.03638)/(12.58%-3.638%)
= $26.31 per share
Hence, the answer is $26.31
