ABC Company's preferred stock is selling for $30 a share. If the required return is 8%, what will the dividend be two years from now?
please show steps in excel
Let dividend 2 years from now be X
Given, rate of return (r ) = 8% and current price= $30
Price= D1/r Where D1= Dividend in year 1.
Price in year 1 = X/0.08
Price now=(X/0.08)/1.08 = $30
X/0.08 = 30*1.08 = 32.40
Therefore, Dividend in year 2 (value of X)= 32.40*0.08 = $2.592
