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 .
