You bought 1000 shares of Micro, Inc. at 45. The stock paid a $1.35 annual dividend in the year when you purchased the stock. In subsequent years, the dividend was increased 6 percent a year. The stock price stayed at 45 for the first year and then rose 13 percent a year. If you participated in the firm’s dividend reinvestment plan, calculate the value of your stock investment after 4 years. Calculate your HPR if you sold the stock at the end of 4 years.
Investment = 1000 x 45 = 45,000.
End of Year 1:
Stock price = 45. Dividend = 1.35 x no. of shares = 1.35 x 1,000 = 1350.
No. of shares received due to reinvestment = 1350/45 = 30 shares
End of Year 2:
Stock price = 45 + 13% = 50.85
Dividend/share = 1.35 + 6% = 1.43. Dividend =1.43 x 1030 = 1472.9.
No. of shares received due to reinvestment = 1472.9/50.85 = 29 shares.
End of Year 3:
Stock Price = 50.85+13% = 57.46.
Dividend/share = 1.43 + 6% = 1.52. Dividend =1.52 x 1059 = $1609.68
No. of shares received due to reinvestment = 1609.68/57.46 = 28 shares.
End of Year 4:
Stock Price = 57.46+13% = 64.93.
Dividend/share = 1.52 + 6% = 1.61. Dividend =1.61 x 1087 = $1750.
SALES PROCEEDS at end of year 4 = no. of shares x stock price + year 4 dividend
= (1087 x 64.93) + $1750 = $72,328.9.
HPR = [(72,328.9 - 45,000)/45,000 ] x 100
HPR = 60%.
