Problem:
You are evaluating the price of a firm's stock. Yesterday, the firm paid $1 a share dividend. You expect the firms earnings and its dividend to grow 5% annual rate. The risk free rate of interest is 2%. The required rate of return for this firm's stock is 9%.
What do you expect the dividend to equal in three years?
What would be the most you would pay for this stock if you planned to hold it for 3 years? What about holding it for ten years?
