Vicky Robb is considering purchasing the common stock of Hawaii Industries, a rapidly growing boat manufacturer. She finds that the firm’s most recent (2020) annual dividend payment was $2.50 per share. Vicky estimates that these dividends will increase at a 20% annual rate, g1, over the next 3 years (2021, 2022, and 2023) because of the introduction of a hot new boat. At the end of the 3 years (the end of 2023), she expects the firm’s mature product line to result in a slowing of the dividend growth rate to 8% per year, g2, for the foreseeable future. Vicky’s required return, rs, is 15%. Required: What is the current (end-of-2020) value of Hawaii’s common stock, P0 = P2020.

P0 = $51.9956 rounded off to $52.00

Explanation:

The two stage growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow over time with two different growth rates. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

The formula for price of the stock today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +  

[ (D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n ]

Where,

P0 = 2.5 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.15)  +  2.5 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.15)^2  +  

2.5 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.15)^3  +

[(2.5 * (1+0.2)^3 * (1+0.08) / (0.15 - 0.08) / (1+0.15)^3)

P0 = $51.9956 rounded off to $52.00

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.

you get one warning and if you do something to violate the guidelines of after that you get kicked off.
