H5.
In practice, a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value the dividends over the next five years or so, then find the “terminal” stock price using a benchmark PE ratio. Suppose a company just paid a dividend of $1.41. The dividends are expected to grow at 13 percent over the next five years. In five years, the estimated payout ratio will be 30 percent and a benchmark PE will be 19. The required return is 11 percent.
a) What is the target stock price in five years?
b) What is the stock price today?
Question#1:Yam-Hash Corporation is expanding rapidly, and it does not pay any dividends because it currently needs to retain all of its earnings. However, investors expect Simpkins to begin paying dividends, with the first dividend of 40 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly—at a rate of 50% per year—during Years 4 and 5. After Year 5, the company should grow at a constant rate of 8% per year. If the required return on the stock is 15%, what is the value of the stock today?
Question 9
Dividends on CCN corporation are expected to grow at a 9% per year. Assume that the discount rate on CCN is 12% and that the expected dividend per share in one year is $0.50. CCN has just paid a dividend, so the next dividend is the $0.50 to be paid one year from now.
Assume that CCN's return on equity (ROE) is 12%. What fraction of earnings must CCN be plowing back into the company?

Question 8
Dividends on CCN corporation are expected to grow at a 9% per year. Assume that the discount rate on CCN is 12% and that the expected dividend per share in one year is $0.50. CCN has just paid a dividend, so the next dividend is the $0.50 to be paid one year from now.
Calculate the expected price per share 14 years from now. Assume that a dividend has just been paid.
