Round your answer to the two decimal places. % What would be the expected return if the price were $40 a share? Round your answer to the two decimal places. %
Given,
Current price = $30
Dividend = $2.30
Growth rate (g) = 6% or 0.06
Solution :-
Expected dividend = Dividend x (1 + g)
= $2.30 x (1 + 0.06)
= $2.30 x 1.06 = $2.438
Expected return = (Expected dividend/Current price) + g
= ($2.438/$30) + 0.06
= $0.0813 + 0.06 = 0.1413 or 14.13%
Now, if current price = $40,
Expected return = (Expected return/current price) + g
= ($2.438/$40) + 0.06
= 0.0610 + 0.06 = 0.1210 or 12.10%
