(7–2) Constant GrowthValuation Boehm Incorporated is expected to pay a $1.50 per share dividend at the end of this year (i.e., D1 = $1.50). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 7% a year. The required rate of return on the stock, rs, is 15%. What is the value per share of Boehm’s stock? Answer Price = $1.50 / (0.15 - 0.07) = $18.75 I'm doing this chapter right now, and this problem was in this week's homework. Here's how I did it: Using the formula in our book, I take 1.50 multiply it by 1 + the 7% growth rate and get 1.5 (1.07) = 1.605 Now, I need to go to part two of the formula. I take what I just got and divide by the required rate of return minus the growth rate: (1.50)(1.07) /(.15 - .07) = 1.605 / .08 = 20.0625 or $20.63 (1.50 X 1) + the 7% growth rate and get 1.5 (1.07) = 1.605 (1.50)(1.07) /(.15 - .07) = 1.605 / .08 = 20.0625 or $20.63 (7–4)Preferred Stock Valuation Nick’s Enchiladas Incorporated has preferred stock outstanding that pays a dividend of $5 at the end of each year.
