Answer a.
Last Dividend, D0 = $5.50
Growth Rate, g = 4.00%
Required Return, rs = 7.50%
Dividend in Year 1, D1 = D0 * (1 + g)
Dividend in Year 1, D1 = $5.50 * 1.04
Dividend in Year 1, D1 = $5.72
Dividend in Year 2, D2 = D1 * (1 + g)
Dividend in Year 2, D2 = $5.72 * 1.04
Dividend in Year 2, D2 = $5.9488
Answer b.
Stock Price in Year 1, P1 = D2 / (rs - g)
Stock Price in Year 1, P1 = $5.9488 / (0.075 - 0.040)
Stock Price in Year 1, P1 = $169.97
Answer c.
Present Value of Next Year’s Dividend = D1 / (1 + rs)
Present Value of Next Year’s Dividend = $5.72 / 1.075
Present Value of Next Year’s Dividend = $5.32
Present Value of Next Year’s Stock Price = P1 / (1 + rs)
Present Value of Next Year’s Stock Price = $169.97 / 1.075
Present Value of Next Year’s Stock Price = $158.11
Total Present Value of Dividends and Stock Price = Present Value
of Next Year’s Dividend + Present Value of Next Year’s Stock
Price
Total Present Value of Dividends and Stock Price = $5.32 +
$158.11
Total Present Value of Dividends and Stock Price = $163.43
Answer d.
Current Stock Price, P0 = D1 / (rs - g)
Current Stock Price, P0 = $5.72 / (0.075 - 0.040)
Current Stock Price, P0 = $163.43
Answer e.
Growth Rate in Stock Price = (P1 - P0) / P0
Growth Rate in Stock Price = ($169.97 - $163.43) / $163.43
Growth Rate in Stock Price = 4.00%
Answer f.
Dividend Yield = D1 / P0
Dividend Yield = $5.72 / $163.43
Dividend Yield = 3.50%
Answer g.
Expected Return = Growth Rate + Dividend Yield
Expected Return = 4.00% + 3.50%
Expected Return = 7.50%
