Mannix Corporation stock currently sells for $80 per share. The market requires a return of 10 percent on the firm's stock. If the company maintains a constant 6 percent growth rate in dividends, what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock

Sagot :

Answer: $3.02

Explanation:

The Gordon growth method can help solve this:

Formula is:

Price of stock = (Most recent dividend * (1 + growth rate)) / (required return - growth rate)

80 = ( D * ( 1 + 6%)) /  (10% - 6%)

80 = 1.06D / 4%

1.06D = 80 * 4%

D = 3.2 / 1.06

D = $3.02
