Answer:
Stock price = $41.50
Explanation:
We know,
Stock price, Po = Dividend of next year (D1) ÷ (Required rate of return (k) - divindend growth rate, g)
Given,
Dividend for the next year, D1 = $5.25
Required rate of return, k = 15.5% = 0.155
Constant growth rate, g = 2.85% = 0.0285
Putting the values into the right formula, we get,
Po = D1 ÷ (k - g)
or, Po = $5.25 ÷ (0.155 - 0.0285)
or, Po = $5.25 ÷ 0.1265
Therefore, Po = $41.50
Therefore, the company's share price is stable and acceptable.
