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]
