A stock has a steady 5% growth in dividends. The required rate of return for the stock of this risk class is 15%. The stock is expected to pay a $1 dividend this coming year. The expected value of the stock at the end of the fourth yr is a $10 b 12.16 c 14.21 d 16.32
A …from eyeballing it. oh…at the end of the 4th year… I am wrong… B is right.
B
B. (1.05^4/(.15 - .1)
how did you get B?
P0= D1/(k-g) =1/(1.15-1.05) = 10 4 years from now 10 * (1.05)^4
Strange… if you buy the stock at $10, receive the 4 dividend payments and then sell it for $12.16, the return you get annualised is less than the required rate of return for this stock… it’s around 13%
Is the answer B or D ? I am getting close to 16.3
B

CF0=-10 CF1=1 CF2=1.05 CF3=1.1025 CF4=12.16+1.05^3 CPT IRR = 15%
oh crap. I would’ve missed this on the test cuz I would’ve thought stock value this year… sucks I lose a lot of points from carelessness…
