Respuesta :

Answer:

Firm's stock price shall be $27.91

Explanation:

Using dividend growth model we have,

[tex]P{_0} = \frac{D{_1}}{K{_e} - g}[/tex]

Where P[tex]{_0}[/tex] = Current Price of stock

D[tex]{_1}[/tex] = Dividend to be paid at year end = $2.40

K[tex]{_e}[/tex] = Expected return = 11.6%

g = Expected growth = 3%

Thus P[tex]{_0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2.40}{11.6 - 3}[/tex] = $27.91

Firm's stock price shall be $27.91
