A. ABC Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.95 and the dividends are expected to indefinitely grow at a constant rate of 4.1% p.a. If investors require a return of 10.2% p.a. on this stock, what is the current value? Value in there years? In 15 years?

B. XYZ Corp's next dividend will be $2.30 per share, and the constant dividend growth rate is 4.5% forever. If the current stock price is $39.85, what is the rate of return that invetors require? What is the dividend yield? Expected capital gains yield?

Explanation / Answer

Current share price:

= $1.95×(1+4.1%)÷(10.2%-4.1%)

= $33.28

Share price in 3 years:

= $1.95×(1+4.1%)^4÷(10.2%-4.1%)

= $37.54

Share price in 15 years:

= $1.95×(1+4.1%)^16÷(10.2%-4.1%)

= $60.8
