Mobray Corp. is experiencing rapid growth. Dividends are expected to grow at 30 percent per year during the next three years, 20 percent over the following year, and then 5 percent per year indefinitely. The required return on this stock is 11 percent, and the stock currently sells for $60 per share. What is the projected dividend for the coming year?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The projected dividend for the coming year is 2.15

Explanation:

let D be next year dividend

D2 = D × 1.3 = 1.3D

D3 = D × 1.3^2 = 1.69D

D4 = D × 1.3^2 × 1.2

     = 2.028D

Dividends are expected to grow:

during the next three years, g1 = 30%

over the following year, g2 = 20%

then per year indefinitely, g3 = 5%

Required return on this stock, rr = 11%

[tex]Price\ at\ year\ 4=D\times(1+g1)^{2}\times(1+g2)\times\frac{(1+g3)}{rr-g3}[/tex]

[tex]Price\ at\ year\ 4=D\times(1.3)^{2}\times1.2\times\frac{1.05}{0.11-0.05}[/tex]

                                  = 35.49D

current price = 60

[tex]\frac{D}{(1+rr)}+ \frac{D2}{(1+rr)^{2}}+\frac{D3}{(1+rr)^{3}}+\frac{D4}{(1+rr)^{4}}+\frac{P4}{(1+rr)^{4}}=60[/tex]

[tex]\frac{D}{(1.11)}+ \frac{1.3D}{(1.11)^{2}}+\frac{1.69D}{(1.11)^{3}}+\frac{2.028D}{(1.11)^{4}}+\frac{35.49}{(1.11)^{4}}=60[/tex]

D = 2.15

Therefore, the projected dividend for the coming year is 2.15
