Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $3.50. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 12% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 6% thereafter. The firm's required return is 18%. How far away is the horizon date

Respuesta :

Answer:

At the end of the year 2

Explanation:

In order to compute the share of Holt enterprises, we  require dividends in years 1 and 2 dividends which are shown thus:

Year 1 dividend=$3.50*(1+12%)^1=$ 3.92  

Year 2 dividend=$3.50*(1+12%)^2=$4.3904

Horizon value at the end of year 2=year 2 dividend *(1+constant dividend growth rate)/(required return-constant dividend growth rate)

Horizon value is computed at the end of year 2 since it needs to follow the last dividend paid immediately
