Question
Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.75 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly-at a rate of 45% per year-during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 5% per year. If the required return on Computech is 16%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

- Company XYZ does not currently pay a dividend. However, their earnings have been growing at a very high rate. Thus, they are expected to begin paying a dividend, starting 7 years from today. Expectations are that the first dividend will be $ 6.9 per share. The dividend is then expected to grow at 20 % per year for 6 years, and at the end of that super-normal growth period, the stock will enter a slower growth perpetuity phase of 5 % per year. The required return on Agilent stock is 13 %. What should be their current stock price? (Please make sure to not do any intermediate rounding and keep at least 6 decimal points throughout solving this problem. Round your final answer to three decimal places. For example 1.23450 or 1.23463 will be rounded to 1.235 while 1.23448 will be rounded to 1.234)arrow_forwardComputech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.

It has done an extensive market analysis and has estimated that based on current market supply or demand relationships, rents, and its estimate of operating expenses, annual NOI will be as follows: Year NOI 1 $ 1,285,000 2 1,285,000 3 1,285,000 4 1,295,000 5 1,345,000 6 1,395,000 7 1,434,000 8 1,474,170 A market that is currently oversupplied is expected to result in cash flows remaining flat for the next three years at $1,285,000. During years 4, 5, and 6, market rents are expected to be higher. It is further expected that beginning in year 7 and every year thereafter, NOI will tend to reflect a stable, balanced market should grow at 3 percent per year indefinitely.
