Brickhouse is expected to pay a dividend of $3.15 and $2.46 over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 3.9 percent. What is the stock price today if the required return is 11.3 percent?

$32.70

Explanation:

According to the dividend discount model, the value of the stock today is the present value of the dividends to be paid plus the present value of the value of the dividend from when the company starts maintaining a stable growth rate which in this question in year 2.

= (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))

Value at year 2 = Year 3 dividend / ( required return - growth rate)

= ( Year 2 dividend * (1 + g)) / ( required return - growth rate)

= (2.46* ( 1 + 0.039)) / ( 0.113 - 0.039)

= $34.54

Value today = (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))

= 3.15/1.113 + 2.46/1.113² + 34.54/1.113²

= 2.83 + 1.99 + 27.88

= $32.70

both are integral parts of a corporate balance sheet. the cash flow statement, or statement of cash flows, measures the sources of a company's cash and its uses of cash over a specific time period. the income statement measures a company's financial performance, such as revenues, expenses, profits or losses over a specific time period (in fact, it's sometimes called a statement of financial performance).

a cash flow statement shows exactly how much money a company has received and how much it has spent, traditionally over a period of one month. it captures the current operating results and changes on the balance sheet, such as increases or decreases in accounts receivable or accounts payable, and does not include noncash accounting items such as depreciation and amortization. the cash flow generally comes from revenue received as a result of business activity, but it may be augmented by funds available as a result of credit. a cash flow statement is used to determine the short-term viability and liquidity of a company, specifically how well it is positioned to pay its bills and vendors.
