Explanation / Answer
QUESTION 5
The dividend for Weaver, Inc., is expected to grow at 15 percent for the next 4 years before leveling off at a 5.4 percent rate indefinitely. If the firm just paid a dividend of $1.09 and you require a return of 11 percent on the stock, what is the most you should pay per share?
Dividend Growth for the next 4 years before levelling at 5.4 per cent
Dividend paid just now = $ 1.09
Year 2 Dividend = 1.09 X 115% = $ 1.25
Year 3 Dividend = 1.25 X 115% = $ 1.44
Year 4 Dividend = 1.44 X 115% = $ 1.66
Year 5 Dividend = 1.66 X 105.4% = $ 1.75
Return on stock expected = 11%
Assuming a stock price of $100 per share, the amount to be paid maximum per share = 1.75 / 11% X 100 =
$ 1,588.43
