Question 1
The Brigapenski Co. has just paid a cash dividend of $2 per share. Investors
require a 16 percent return from investments. What would the stock sell for today
if the dividend was expected to grow at 20 percent per year for the next three years
and then settle down to 8 percent per year, indefinitely?
Answer
The last dividend was $2 per share k= 16%
Years growth rate
1-3 20%
4 and so 8%
First, the dividend in 4 years will be...
D1 + D2 + D3 + FV
(1+K)1 (1+K)2 (1+K)3 (1+k)3
Question 2
You are planning to buy shares of XYZ. XYZ’s most recent annual dividend was $5
per share. The next dividend will be paid in exactly one year. Analysts expect
dividends to grow at a rate of 10% per year for three years (up to and including
the t=3 dividend). Thereafter, dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 5% per
year into the indefinite future. The required rate of return on XYZ’s stock is 12%.
Calculate the value of XYZ stock using the two-stage dividend discount model.
Answer
value of XYZ stock using the two-stage dividend discount model
D0 = $5 K = 12%
Years growth rate
1-3 10%
4 so on 5%
V= D1
kg
Pv = D1 + D2 + D3 + TV
(1+K)1 (1+K)2 (1+K)3 (1+k)3
Pv = 5.5 + 6.05 + 6.655 + 99.825
(1+0.12)1 (1+0.12)2 (1+0.12)3 (1+0.12)3
Question 3
Thirsty Cactus Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.25 per share. The dividends are
expected to grow at 28 percent for the next eight years and then level off to a 6
percent growth rate indefinitely. If the required return is 13 percent, what is the
price of the stock today by using the two-stage dividend growth model?
Answer
We can use the two-stage dividend growth model for this , which is:
TV8 = D9
K-G
= 9.508
13%6%
TV8 = 135.82
