Hi again cop189!! Terms definition: Pt = price at time t P0 = today's price Dt=dividends in period t r = required rate of return (a.k.a. discount rate) g = constant growth rate What is the current price of a share of the stock? P0 = D1/(r-g) = = $2/(0.12-0.05) = = $28.57 The current price of a share of the stock is $28.57 . ---------------------- What will the stock price be 10 years from today? We know that Pt = D_(t+1)/(r-g) and D_(t+1) = Dt*(1+g) = D1*(1+g)^t Then: Pt = D1*(1+g)^t/(r-g) = = P0*(1+g)^t We will have that: P10 = $28.57*(1.05)^10 = = $46.54 The stock price 10 years from now will be $46.54 . ----------------------------------------------------------- For references see "EQUITY VALUATION" at Lehigh University: http://www.lehigh.edu/~sgb2/finNotesEquityValuation.html ------------------------------------------------------------ I hope that this helps you. Feel free to request for a clarification if you need it. Regards. livioflores-ga |
