Chartreuse County Choppers Inc. is experiencing rapid growth. The company expects dividends to grow at 25% per year for the next 11 years before leveling off at 6% into perpetuity. The required return on the company’s stock is 12%. If the dividend per share just paid was $1.74, what is the stock price?Answer:

Respuesta :

Answer:

Stock price is $142.13

Explanation:

Given that:

Dividends (D) = $1.74

Dividend grow rate (g) = 25% = 0.25

Required return (R) = 12% = 0.12

Growth rate period (T) = 11 years

Perpetuity (p) = 6% = 0.06

Stock price = [D(1 + g) / (R-g)] {1 -[(1 + g) / (1 + R)]^T}+ [(1 + g)/(1 + R)]^T[D(1 + p)/(R-p)]

Substituting values:

Stock price = [1.74(1 + 0.25) / (0.12-0.25)] {1 -[(1 + 0.25) / (1 + 0.12)]¹¹}+ [(1 + 0.25)/(1 + 0.12)]¹¹[1.74(1 + 0.06)/(0.12 - 0.06)]

Stock price = [(-16.73) × (-2.34)] + [(3.35) ×(30.74)] = 39.1482 + 102.979 = $142.13

Stock price is $142.13

The price of stock is $142.13 when the growth rate if dividend is 25% while having the rate of perpetuity as 6%.

Computation:

Given.

[tex]D[/tex] =Dividends of $1.74  

[tex]g[/tex] =Dividend grow rate is 25% or 0.25  

[tex]R[/tex] =Required return is 12% or 0.12  

[tex]T[/tex] =Growth rate period is 11 years  

[tex]p[/tex]  =Perpetuity is 6% or 0.06

The computation of the stock price is as follows:

Formula used is:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Stock price} = [\dfrac{D(1 + g) }{ R-g}] \times[{1 -[\dfrac{(1 + g)} { (1 + R)}^T}]+ [\dfrac{(1 + g)}{(1 + R)}^T]\times[\dfrac{D(1 + p)}{(R-p)}]\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substituting the values in the above formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Stock price}& = [\dfrac{\$1.74(1 + 0.25) }{ 0.12-0.25}] \times[{1 -[\dfrac{(1 + 0.25)} { (1 + 0.12)}^{11}}]+ [\dfrac{(1 + 0.25)}{(1 + 0.12)}^{11}]\times[\dfrac{\$1.74(1 + 0.06)}{(0.12-0.06)}]\\&=\$142.13\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the stock price as per the given data is $142.13.
