You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.6 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.41 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 11 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock?

price per share of the company's stock is $53.28

Explanation:

Under dividend growth model a stock is overvalued or undervalued assuming that the firm’s expected dividends grow at a value g forever, which is subtracted from the required rate of return or k.

Therefore, the stable dividend growth model formula calculates the fair value of the stock as P =D1 / ( k – g ).

P= price per share

D1 = current dividend

k = required return

g = growth rate

P= $3.41 ÷ (11 %  - 4.6% ) =( 3.41 ÷ 0.064 )=  $53.28

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
