Explanation:
Requirement A
An investor wants a return of 7%,
We know,
Dividend-growth model, stock price, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
Here,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = Today's stock price = ?
[tex]k_{e}[/tex] = 7% = 0.07
g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04
[tex]D_{1}[/tex] = Next year dividend = [tex]D_{0}*(1 + g)[/tex] = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52
Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $1.04 ÷ (0.07 - 0.04)
or, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $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, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
Here,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = Today's stock price = ?
[tex]k_{e}[/tex] = 10% = 0.10
g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04
[tex]D_{1}[/tex] = Next year dividend = [tex]D_{0}*(1 + g)[/tex] = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52
Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $1.04 ÷ (0.10 - 0.04)
or, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $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, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
Here,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = Today's stock price = ?
[tex]k_{e}[/tex] = 11% = 0.11
g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04
[tex]D_{1}[/tex] = Next year dividend = [tex]D_{0}*(1 + g)[/tex] = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52
Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $1.04 ÷ (0.11 - 0.04)
or, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $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, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
Here,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = Today's stock price = ?
[tex]k_{e}[/tex] = 15% = 0.15
g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04
[tex]D_{1}[/tex] = Next year dividend = [tex]D_{0}*(1 + g)[/tex] = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52
Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $1.04 ÷ (0.15 - 0.04)
or, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $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, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
Here,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = Today's stock price = ?
[tex]k_{e}[/tex] = 18% = 0.18
g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04
[tex]D_{1}[/tex] = Next year dividend = [tex]D_{0}*(1 + g)[/tex] = $0.50 × (1 + 0.04) = $0.50 × 1.04 = $0.52
Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = [tex]D_{1}[/tex] ÷ ([tex]K_{e}[/tex] - g)
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $1.04 ÷ (0.18 - 0.04)
or, [tex]P_{0}[/tex] = $1.04 ÷ 0.14
Hence the current stock price = $7.43, with a 18% return.
