Burton Corp. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 28 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7.4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 16 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $3.45, what is the current share price

current share price = $70.53

Explanation:

Share Price:

A share price is the amount it would cost to buy one share in a company.

Formula:

share price = future dividends * Present value of discount factor(16%, time period)

As the company just paid a dividend of $3.45 and dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 28 percent for the next three years so

Dividend for 1st year = (3.45*1.28) = $4.416

Dividend for 2nd year = (4.416*1.28) = $5.65248

Dividend for 3rd year = (5.65248*1.28) = $7.2351744

Now we need to calculate the value for 3rd year.

Formula:

Value after 3rd year = (Dividend for year 3*growth rate) / (required rate-growth rate)

Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Value after 3rd year = (7.2351744 * 1.074) / (0.16 - 0.074)

Value after 3rd year = $90.35555007

Therefore by putting the values in the share price formula, we get

current share price = 4.416 / 1.16 + 5.65248 / 1.16^2 + 7.2351744/1.16^3 + 90.35555007 / 1.16^3

current share price = $70.53

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
