Mercier Corporation's stock is selling for $95. It has just paid a dividend of $5 a share. The expected growth rate in dividends is 8 percent. What is the required rate of return on this stock?

Respuesta :

Answer:

r = 13.68%

Explanation:

We can use Gordon growth model to calculate the stock price.

P = Do x (1+g) / r - g

P: stock price (Given: $95)

Do: Last dividend paid ($5)

g: Dividend growth rate (8%)

r: required return (Missing value)

By inputting the number into the above equation, we have the following:

95 = 5 x 1.08 / (r - 0.08)

--> r = 13.68%
