Respuesta :

Answer:

$69.33

Explanation:

Calculation for how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock

Using this formula

P(0)=[Annual dividend *(Increase in future dividend)]/ (Rate of return- Increase in future dividend)

Let plug in the formula

P(0)=[$2.75*(1+0.059)]/(0.101-0.059)

P(0)=$2.75*1.059/0.042

P(0)=$2.91225/0.042

P(0)=$69.33

Therefore the amount you are willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock will be $69.33
