The following graph shows the value of a stock’s dividends over time. The stock’s current dividend is $1.00 per share, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.50% per year. The intrinsic value of a stock should equal the sum of the present value (PV) of all of the dividends that a stock is supposed to pay in the future, but many people find it difficult to imagine adding up an infinite number of dividends. Calculate the present value (PV) of the dividend paid today (D₀) and the discounted value of the dividends expected to be paid 10, 20, and 50 years from now (D10, D20, D50D10, D20, D50). Assume that the stock’s required return (rss) is 5.40%. Note: Carry and round the calculations to four decimal places. Time Period Dividend’s Expected Future Value Dividend’s Expected Present Value Now        End of Year 10           End of Year 20           End of Year 50             Using the blue curve (circle symbols), plot the future value of each of the expected future dividends for years 10, 20, and 50. The resulting curve will illustrate how the FV of a particular dividend payment will increase depending on how far from today the dividend is expected to be received. Note: Round each of the discounted values of the dividends to the nearest tenth decimal place before plotting it on the graph.

You observe a stock price of $18.75. You expect a dividend growth rate of 5%, and the most recent dividend was $1.50. What is the required return? Solve using Excel

A stock is selling today for $50 per share. At the end of the year, it pays a dividend of $3 per share and sells for $59.   Required: a. What is the total rate of return on the stock? b. What are the dividend yield and percentage capital gain? c. Now suppose the year-end stock price after the dividend is paid is $44. What are the dividend yield and percentage capital gain in this case?

If a stock's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year, which of the following statements is correct? Select one: O a. O b. O c. The stock's dividend yield is 5%. The price of the stock is expected to decline in the future. The stock's required return must be equal to or less than 5%. Od. The stock's price one year from now is expected to be above the current price. e. The expected return on the stock is 5% a year.
