Question

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 3.6 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.71 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 12 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock?

Answer 1

$45.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Next dividend = Dividend just paid * (1 + Dividend growth rate) = $3.71 * (1 + 0.036) = $3.84356

Using the formula for the dividend discount model, we can calculate he price per share of the company's stock as follows:

Stock price = Next dividend / (Required return - Dividend growth rate) = $3.84356 / (0.12 - 0.036) = $45.76

Therefore, the price per share of the company's stock is $45.76.
