Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $64 per share and the required return on the stock is 0.12. You also know that the required return is evenly divided between the capital gains yield (G) and the dividend yield (D1/P0) (this means that if the required retun is 9%, the capital gains yield is 4.5% and the dividend yield is 4.5%).If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share

Sagot :

Answer:

$3.62

Explanation:

Dividend Yield = 0.12/2

Dividend Yield = 0.06

==> (Dividend in One Year)/Current Price= .045

D1 = 0.06*$64

D1 = $3.84

D0 (Current Dividend) = D1/(1+Dividend Yield)

D0 (Current Dividend) = $3.84/(1.06)

D0 (Current Dividend) = 3.622641509433962

D0 (Current Dividend) = $3.62
