Answer:
Option (d) is correct.
Explanation:
P0 = D1 ÷ (ke - g)
Where,
P0 is the price = ?
Currently dividend paid, D0 = $1.62 a share
ke is the required return = 15.70%
g is the growth rate = 2.10%
D1 is the dividend at end of year:
= D0 × (1 + g)
= $1.62 × (1 + 0.021)
= $1.62 × 1.021
= $1.65402
Therefore,
P0 = 1.65402 ÷ (15.7% - 2.1%)
= 1.65402 ÷ (13.6%)
= $12.16
Therefore, the price of one share of this stock is $12.16
