Answer from: devinb18

a) With a 7% return, the current stock price = $34.67.

b) The current stock price = $17.33, with a 10% return.

c) The current stock price = $14.86, with a 11% return.

d) The current stock price = $9.45, with a 15% return.

e) Current stock price = $7.43 assuming the interest rate is 18%

Explanation:

Requirement A

An investor wants a return of 7%,

We know,

Dividend-growth model, stock price, $P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

Here,

$P_{0}$ = Today's stock price = ?

$k_{e}$ = 7% = 0.07

g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04

$D_{1}$ = Next year dividend = $D_{0}*(1 + g)$ = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

$P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

$P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ (0.07 - 0.04)

or, $P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ 0.03

Hence with a 7% return, the current stock price = $34.67.

Requirement B

An investor wants a return of 10%,

We know,

Dividend-growth model, stock price, $P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

Here,

$P_{0}$ = Today's stock price = ?

$k_{e}$ = 10% = 0.10

g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04

$D_{1}$ = Next year dividend = $D_{0}*(1 + g)$ = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

$P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

$P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ (0.10 - 0.04)

or, $P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ 0.06

Hence the current stock price = $17.33, with a 10% return.

Requirement C

An investor wants a return of 11%,

We know,

Dividend-growth model, stock price, $P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

Here,

$P_{0}$ = Today's stock price = ?

$k_{e}$ = 11% = 0.11

g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04

$D_{1}$ = Next year dividend = $D_{0}*(1 + g)$ = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

$P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

$P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ (0.11 - 0.04)

or, $P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ 0.07

Hence the current stock price = $14.86, with a 11% return.

Requirement D

An investor wants a return of 15%,

We know,

Dividend-growth model, stock price, $P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

Here,

$P_{0}$ = Today's stock price = ?

$k_{e}$ = 15% = 0.15

g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04

$D_{1}$ = Next year dividend = $D_{0}*(1 + g)$ = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

$P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

$P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ (0.15 - 0.04)

or, $P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ 0.11

Hence the current stock price = $9.45, with a 15% return.

Requirement E

An investor wants a return of 18%,

We know,

Dividend-growth model, stock price, $P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

Here,

$P_{0}$ = Today's stock price = ?

$k_{e}$ = 18% = 0.18

g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04

$D_{1}$ = Next year dividend = $D_{0}*(1 + g)$ = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

$P_{0}$ = $D_{1}$ ÷ ( $K_{e}$ - g)

$P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ (0.18 - 0.04)

or, $P_{0}$ = $1.04 ÷ 0.14

Hence the current stock price = $7.43, with a 18% return.
