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?
Q14: Suppose a company is expected to pay a dividend of $2.30 per share next year. Assuming the dividend growth rate is 5% a year and the market requires a return of 12%, how much should the stock be selling for?
Q15

The firm just announced that because of a new joint venture, it will likely grow at a 10.5 percent rate.How much should the stock price change (in dollars and percentage)? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
