8. PLC pays an annual dividend of $6.00. The company is expected to continue paying this dividend with no future growth in dividends. Investors require 11% rate of return on this investment. What is the current stock value of PLC?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The current stock value of PLC: $54.55.

Explanation:

Please find the below for detailed explanations and calculations:

PLC's stock value should equal to the present value of its future dividends discounted at required rate of return which is given in the question at 11%.

The constant stream of PLC's annual dividend as described in the question forms a perpetuity of $6.00 dollar per year perpetually.

As explained above, by applying the formula for calculating the present value of the perpetuity, we have:

PLC's current stock value = 6/11% = $54.54.
