How much are you willing to pay for one share of LBM stock if the company just paid an annual dividend of $2.24, the dividends increase by 2.3 percent annually, and you require a return of 14.8 percent

Respuesta :

Answer:

The price to pay for one share of LBM stock, P = $18.33

Explanation:

Annual Dividend, D = $2.24

Annual Increase In Dividends, [tex]\triangle D = 2.3 \%[/tex] = 0.023

Return, R = 14.8% = 0.148

The price of the share, [tex]P = \frac{D(1 + \triangle D)}{R - \triangle D}[/tex]

[tex]P = \frac{2.24( 1 + 0.023)}{0.148 - 0.023} \\\\P = \$18.33[/tex]
