Answer:
BenchMark, Inc.
The current share price for the stock is:
$43.13
Explanation:
Dividend per share = $3.45
Growth rate = 5%
Investors' required rate of return = 13%
Stock value = Dividend per share / (Required Rate of Return – Dividend Growth Rate)
= $3.45/(0.13 - 0.05)
= $43.13
b) To determine BenchMark, Inc.'s current share price divide the dividend per share by the required rate of return after subtracting the growth rate from the required rate of return.
