Answer:
P0 = $41.7196815 rounded off to $41.72
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the discounted cashflow model. The formula for price under this model will be the present value of the expected future cash flows. The formula is as follows,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n
Where,
P0 = (7+2) / (1+0.15) + (7+2+2) / (1+0.15)^2 + (7+2+2+2) / (1+0.15)^3 +
(7+2+2+2+2) / (1+0.15)^4 + (7+2+2+2+2+2) / (1+0.15)^5
P0 = $41.7196815 rounded off to $41.72
