| Rajain | Why C 1.5/(0.16-0.03) = 11.5384 |
| cfahanoi | Expected devidend = D1 => V = 1.5/(.16-.03) = 11.54 |
| rfvo | Remember expected dividend, so no need to multiply growth. Current dividend multiply by growth rate. |
| fmhp | Thank you rfvo: good hint! |
| moneyguy | tricky one. |
| Jamberto | wouldn't it be: (D*1+G)/(R-G) = (1.50*1.03)/(.16-.03) = 11.88 ??? |
| jonan203 | jamberto: no, 1.5 is the future dividend that has NOT been paid, which implies that the previous dividend was 1.45. [1.45(1.03)] / (.16 - .03) = 11.54 |
| tochiejehu | D1 =Expected dividend=1.50 and apply d constant growth model |
| Inaganti6 | hahaha this is tricky ? |
| MathLoser | No, it is not. |
