A stock just paid a dividend of $3. The stock is expected to increase its dividend payment by 30% per year for the next 3 years. After that, dividends will grow at a rate of 8% forever. If the required rate of return is 10%, what is the price of the stock today?

Price of stock today = $334.56

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.  

This model would be applied as follows:

Year                                              Present Value ( PV)

1                   3 × 1.3  × 1.1^(-1) =    3.5454

2                  3 × 1.3^2  × 1.1^(-2)  =  4.1900

3                  3 × 1.3^3  × 1.1^(-3) = 4.9519

Total                                             12.6874

Year 4 and beyond

This will be done in two steps

Step 1

D× (1+g)/k-g

3 × 1.3^4/(0.1-0.08)

=428.415

Step 2

Present Value in year 0

=428.415  × 1.1^(-3) = 321.87

Total present value =  12.6874 + 321.87 = 334.56

Price of stock today = $334.56

answer; it can vividly demonstrate product attributes and persuasively explain their corresponding consumer benefits;

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
