Suppose that a firm’s recent earnings per share and dividend per share are $2.50 and $1.50, respectively. Both are expected to grow at 9 percent. However, the firm’s current P/E ratio of 24 seems high for this growth rate. The P/E ratio is expected to fall to 20 within five years.

Compute the dividends over the next five years.

Compute the value of this stock in five years.

Calculate the present value of these cash flows using an 11 percent discount rate.

D01.50

D11.60

D21.78

D31.94

D42.12

D52.31

Price of the stock after 5-year $ 77

PV $ 81.75

Explanation:

Earning per share 2.5

Dividend per share 1.5

grow ratio 9%

P/E ratio 24

within 5 year is expected to fall to 20

We solve for the dividend by multiplying the dividends by the grow rate of 9%

We solve for the earning after 5 years:

Principal2.50

time5.00

rate0.09000

Amount3.85

Then we multiply by 20 to get the value of the stock:

$ 3.85 x 20 = $ 77

We solve the horizon value:

PV $ 81.75

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
