Answer 1

Answer:

$37.79

Explanation:

The computation of the stock price is shown below:

Data given in the question

Next year dividend = $3.25

Growth rate = 3.5%

Required rate of return = 12.1%

So, the stock price is

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

= $3.25 ÷ (12.1% - 3.5%)

= $3.25 ÷ 8.6%

= $37.79

We simply apply the above formula to find out the stock price
