Sanford common stock is expected to pay $1.50 in dividends next year, and the market price is projected to be $52.35 per share byyear-end. If investors require a rate of return of 13 percent, what is the current value of the stock?
Expected return = (Price at Y1 - Price at Y0)+Dividend/ Price at Y0)
Lets assume Price Y0 = X
Divindend = $1.5
Price at Y1 = $52.35
0.13 = (52.35-x)+1.5/x
0.13x = 52.35 - X+1.5
1.13x = 52.35+1.5
1.13x = 53.85
x = $47.6549
