Answer 1

Answer: $20.44

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we are informed that Best Ever Toys just paid its annual dividend of $1.78 per share and that the required return is 10.6% and the dividend growth rate is 1.23%, then the expected value of this stock five years from now will be:

= [$1.78 × (1 + 1.23%)^6] / (10.6% - 1.23%)

= (1.78 × 1.0123^6)/(10.6% - 1.23%)

= 20.44

The expected value of the stock is $20.44
