Cellular Talk is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 25% a year for the next three years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6% per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $0.80 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 17%

Respuesta :

Answer:

$12.14

Explanation:

The computation of the current value of one share of the stock is shown below:

D2 = (1 × 1.25) = $1.25

D3 = (1.25 × 1.25) = $1.5625

Now

Value after year 3 is

= (D3 × Growth rate) ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)

= (($1.5625 × 1.06) ÷ [0.17 - 0.06)]

= $15.05681818

Now

Current value is

= Future dividends × Present value of discounting factor(17%,time period)

= $1 ÷ 1.17 + $1.25 ÷ 1.17^2 + $1.5625 ÷ 1.17^3 + $15.05681818/1.17^3

= $12.14
