Solutions

Expert Solution

The stock begins constant growth in Year 3, so we can find the price of the stock in Year 3 as:

P3 = D3(1 + g) / (R − g)

P3 = $4.9(1.034) / (0.073 − 0.034)

P3 = $129.9128

The price of the stock today is the PV of the first three dividends, plus the PV of the Year 3 stock price. So, the price of the stock today will be:

P0 = $1.5 / 1.073 + $2.8 / 1.073^2 + $4.9 / 1.073^3 + $129.9128 / 1.073^3

P0 = $112.96
