Holtzman clothiers’s stock currently sells for $38.00 a share. it just paid a dividend of $2.00 a share (i. e., d(0) = $2.00). the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. what stock price is expected 1 year from now? what is required rate of return?

Price in one year is $39.9

Required rate of return is 10.53%

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price of stock (P0) = $38

Dividend (D0) = $2

Growth rate = 5%

Stock price after a year = 38 × (1+0.05)

                                       = $39.9

Stock price expected 1 year from now is $39.9

Using Gordon's constant dividend model to compute required rate of return:

r =

D1 = D0 (1+0.05)

    = 2 × 1.05

    = $2.1

Substitute the values in the above formula:

r =  

  = 0.1053 or 10.53%

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
