Question:

Your broker offers to sell you some shares of Bahnsen & Co. common stock that paid a dividend of $4.00 yesterday. Bahnsen's dividend is expected to grow at 4% per year for the next 3 years. If you buy the stock, you plan to hold it for 3 years and then sell it. The appropriate discount rate is 11%.

A. Find the expected dividend for each of the next 3 years; that is, calculate D1, D2, and D3.

B. Given that the first dividend payment will occur 1 year from now, find the present value of the dividend stream; that is, calculate the PVs of D1, D2, and D3 and then sum these PVs.

Dividend discount model:

A dividend is a payment made to the shareholders of a company as a reward for their investment. The Dividend Discount Model (DDM) is part of the approaches employed in stock valuation to compute the company's stock price. DDM is built on the assertion that the current price of a stock equals the present value of expected future dividends. The dividends can portray zero, growth, constant growth, or multi-stage growth and the growth rate is an important component when pricing the stock.
