Question

you expect it to pay a dividend of $3 in 1 year, $4.25 in 2 years, and $6.00 in 3 years. You expect to sell the stock for $100 in 3 years. If your required return for purchasing the stock is 12 percent, how much would you pay for the stock today

Answer 1

$81.52

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to state the price to pay for a stock at this present day.

To calculate this, we compute it mathematically.

Mathematically, we have;

dividend/(1+required return rate)^year

we then add together

we have

=3/(1.12) + 4.25/(1.12)^2 + 6/(1.12)^3 + 100/(1.12)^3 = 81.52
