(a) What is this stock worth to you per share today?
The share price is equal to the present value of future dividends.
The share price today = $28.60
Screenshot of the formula used for easy understanding.
(b) What is the expected stock price next year?
The expected stock price next year is equal to the present value (at year 1) of the future dividends from year 2 onwards.
The dividend in year 2 is discounted for one period, the dividend in year 3 is discounted for 2 periods and so on.
The stock price in year 2 = $29.06
(c) What is the expected stock price 20 years from today?
Stock price in 20 years = Dividend in year 21/r
Stock price = 2.50/0.10
Stock price = $25
