Jcpenney company is expected to pay a dividend in year 1 of $1.65, a dividend in year 2 of $1.97, and a dividend in year 3 of $2.54. after year 3, dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 8% per year. an appropriate required return for the stock is 11%. the stock should be worth today. $33.00 $40.67 $71.80 $66.00

Consider the following calculation

Explanation:

Present value of stock=Dividend in year 1/(1+required return)^1+Dividend in year 2/(1+required return)^2+Dividend in year 3/(1+required return)^3+Terminal value/(1+required return)^3

Terminal value=(Dividend in year 3)*(1+growth rate)/(Required return - growth rate)

Given that the required return is 11% and growth rate is 8%.

Terminal value=2.54*(1+8%)/(11%-8%)

=(2.54*1.08)/(0.03)

=2.7432/0.03

=91.44

Given that, dividend in year 1=$1.65, in year 2 dividend=$1.97, dividend in year 3 =$2.54

Present value=1.65/(1+11%)^1+1.97/(1+11%)^2+2.54/(1+11%)^3+91.44/(1+11%)^3

=1.65/(1.11)^1+1.97/(1.11)^2+2.54/(1.11)^3+91.44/(1.11)^3

=1.65/1.11+1.97/1.2321+2.54/1.367631+91.44/1.367631

=1.486486486+1.598896193+1.857226109+66.86013991

=71.8027487 or $71.80 (Rounded to two decimal places)

answer; i believe that the correct answer is ( owners investment)

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
