Assume that Stock X is fairly priced today. Stock X just distributed a per share dividend of $1. It is expected that the company will increase its dividend by 20% in the coming year, 15% in the second year, 10% in the third year, and 5% in the fourth year.

Company A is a worldwide delivery company that is expected to generate a dividend (per share) of $1.40 one year from now (i.e. at t=1). You are expecting that on average Company A's dividends will grow at 5% each year after that into the indefinite future. Assume for simplicity that all dividends are paid at the end of each year.

4) Suppose stock AAA pays an annual dividend of $2. Shareholders require a rate of return of 12% annually on the stock. a) Use the DDM model to find the price of the stock. b) Suppose the firm just paid a dividend of $2 but it is expected that the dividend rate will grow at a fixed rate such that next year's dividend will be $2.20. What will the dividend payments be over the next 3 years? c) With the growth rate as described in part b), calculate the price of a single share of the stock. d) Now suppose you hear from an well known analyst that even though the firm just paid a $2 dividend, the firm is expected to have supernormal growth rate of 20% over the next 5 years. After that, growth will level off to 10% per year. Over these 5 years, the firm plans to take on massive amounts of debt. So the discount rate investors should use is 15% over those supernormal growth years. After that the discount rate should revert to 12%. Calculate the price of a share of stock.
