Based on the following information for Builtrite, calculate the current value of its stock if the current dividend is $3.00, a projected super normal growth for three years at 20%, the growth rate after year 3 should remain constant at 9% and you want to earn a 16% annual return. What would you be willing to pay for Builtrite stock?

$61.35

Explanation:

The computation of the current value of the stock is shown below:

Current Dividend = D0 = $3.00

Super Normal growth for next 3 years = g1 = 20% or 0.20

Growth Rate after 3 year = g2 = 9% or 0.09

Required rate of Return = r = 16% or 0.16

Now

as we know that

Value of Share (P0) is

= [D1 ÷ (1 + r)] + [D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2] + [D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3] + [P3 ÷ (1 +r )^3]

Where

D1 = Dividend in year 1

D2 = Dividend in year 2

D3 = Dividend in year 3

P3 = Value of share at the end of year 3

Now first we have to compute the P3 value which is

P3 = D4 ÷ (r - g2)

= D0 × (1 + g1)^3 (1 + g2) ÷(r - g2)

= $3.00 × (1 + 0.20)^3 (1 + 0.09) ÷ (0.16-0.09)

= $5.65056

Now  

Value of Share (P0) is

= [D1 ÷ (1 + r)] + [D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2] + [D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3] + [P3 ÷ (1 + r)^3]

= [D0 × (1 + g1) ÷ (1 + r)^1] + [D0 × (1 + g1)^2 ÷ (1 + r)^2] + [D0 × (1 + g1)^3 ÷ (1 + r)^3] + [P3 ÷ (1 + r)^3]

= [$3.00 × (1 + 0.20) ÷ (1 + 0.16)^1] + [$3.00 × (1 + 0.20)^2 ÷ (1 + 0.16)^2] + [$3.00 × (1 + 0.20)^3 ÷ (1 + 0.16)^3] + [$5.65056 ÷ (1 + 0.16)^3]

= $3.10 + $3.21 + $ 3.32 + $51.72

= $61.35

one of the disadvantages of getting a government sponsored mortgage is they put a limit on the purchase price of the house. because the government is in charge of the mortage loan and terms, they are able to control how much money they are allowing someone to take out for the loan. not only are they incontrol, it's a lengthy process for a government sponsored mortgage.
