The formula for the present value of a stock using the dividend discount model
is:
PV =
where PV is the present value, D1 is the expected dividend for the next year,
Ke is the required return or cost of equity, and g is the expected growth rate of
the dividends.
In this case, D1 is $3.04, Ke is 11%, and g is 3.75%. Plugging in these values,
we get:
= $3.04 / (0.11 - 0.0375)
= $41.93
Stock price = $41.93
Question 5
Caccamise Co. is expected to maintain a constant 3.4 percent growth rate in its
dividends indefinitely. If the company has a dividend yield of 5.3 percent, what is
the required return on the company’s stock?
Answer:
We can use the Gordon Growth Model to solve this problem. The Gordon Growth Model is used
to calculate the required rate of return on a stock, given its current dividend, expected dividend
growth rate, and the current market price of the stock.
Where:
Dividend yield = Annual dividend / Current stock price
Dividend growth rate = Expected growth rate of dividends
We are given that the company has a constant growth rate of 3.4 percent in its dividends
indefinitely. This means that the expected growth rate of dividends is 3.4 percent.
We are also given that the company has a dividend yield of 5.3 percent.
Now, using the Gordon Growth Model formula, we can calculate the required rate of return on the
company's stock:
