Ackert Company's last dividend (D0) was $0.60. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 7.0% each year for 2 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 4.0% forever. The firm's required return (rs) is 10.0%. What is the best estimate of the current stock price?

Answer:

Price per share = $10.99

Explanation:

The dividednd are growing at 7% per annum for 2 year so we will use the DCF approach to calculate price of the share today. We will also calculate the terminal value after 2 years when growth becomes constant and discount it back to today to calculate the price today.

The formula for DCF approach and calculations are below:

P0 = D0*(1+g) / 1+r + ... + [D0(1+g)^n / r-g] / (1+r)^n

P0 = 0.6*(1+0.07) / 1 + 0.1  +  0.6*(1+0.07)² / (1+.01)² +  [(0.6*(1+0.07)²*(1+0.04)/0.1-0.04] / (1+0.1)²

P0 = $10.9918 or 10.99
