A company’s dividend grows at a constant rate of 4 percent p.a.. Last week it paid a dividend of $6.83. If the required rate of return is 15 percent p.a., what is the price of the share 4 years from now? (round to nearest cent)
Select one:
a. $75.54
b. $72.64
c. $43.19
d. $112.94
Dividend growth rate: 4% p.a.
Last dividend: $6.83 and the required rate of return : 15% p.a.
Hence, Dividend after 4 year: Last dividend * ( 1 + growth rate)Years
Dividend after 4 year: $ 6.83 * ( 1 + 0.04)4
Dividend after 4 year: $ 7.99
Price of the share 4 years from now will be as follow:
Price of share after 4 years: Dividend after 4 years *(1+ Growth rate) / (Required return - Growth rate)
Price of share after 4 years: 7.99 *(1+ 0.04) / (0.15 - 0.04)
Price of share after 4 years: 8.31 / 0.11
Price of share after 4 years: $ 75.54
Hence correct option is option "a. $75.54"
