Answer:
current share price is $71.05
Explanation:
given data
grow at a rate = 20 percent
time = 3 year
growth rate falling off = 8 percent
dividend = $1.45
solution
we get here price of the stock in Year 3 that is 1 year before the constant dividend growth that is
P(3) = D(3) × (1 + g) ÷ (R - g) .............1
P(3) = D0 (1 + g1)³ × (1 + g2) ÷ (R - g)
P(3) = [tex]\frac{1.45\times 1.20^3 \times 1.08}{0.11-0.08}[/tex]
P(3) = $90.206
and
then price of the stock today is present value of first three dividends + present value of the Year 3 stock price
so price of the stock today is
P(0) = [tex]\frac{1.45(1.20) }{1.11} + \frac{1.45(1.20)^2}{1.11^2} +\frac{1.45(1.20)63}{1.11^3} +\frac{90.2016}{1.11^3}[/tex]
P(0) = $71.05
