ABC common stock just paid a dividend of $2.50 per share. The ABC dividend is expected to grow 20% per year for two years, and then the growth rate will settle into a constant 6%. If the discount rate is 15% on ABC common stock, what should be the current share price

Answer and Explanation:

Given that the dividend will grow at 20% for two years and then a constant 6% at third year

1st year dividend at 20%= $3

Present value of the dividend for the first year=PV factor at 15%(from table) = $2.61

2nd year dividend at 20% = $3.60

Present value of the dividend for the second year = PV factor at 15%(from table) $2.72

3rd year dividend at 6% growth rate =

$42.40

Present value of the dividend for the third year = PV factor at 15% = $32.06

Current price of the stock =$2.61+$2.72+$32.06

=$37.39
