stock that has a current price of $25.00, a beta of 1.25, and a dividend yield of 6%. If the Treasury bill yield is 5% and the market portfolio is expected to return 14%, what should MUSS’s stock sell for at the end of an investor's two year investment horizon?

$30.2067

Explanation:

From the given question, using the dividend discount model

where:

r is the Expected return on stock and be calculated as:

Expected return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta × (Expected Market Return - Risk free rate)

Expected return on stock = 5% + 1.25 × (14% - 5%) = 16.25%

However, the current price in this process will b used as the dividend price for all future expenses.

Dividend Yield = Current Dividend/The Share Price

Current dividend D0 = 6% × $25.00 = $1.50

D₁ = D₀ × (1 + g)

D₁ = 1.5 × (1 + g)

Thus, we can now employ the use of the growth dividend model (constant) to determine the value of g as follows:

By cross multiply, we have:

4.0625 - 25g = 1.5 + 1.5g

collect like terms, we have:

4.0625 - 1.5 = 1.5g + 25g

2.5625 = 26.5g

Divide both sides by 26.5, we have:

2.5625/26.5 = 26.5g/26.5

g = 9.67%

Similarly, suppose the value for the second year-end to be Y₂;

Then the constant growth dividend model can be computed as:

where;

D₃ = D₂ × (1 + g)

D₂ × (1 + g) = D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)  = D₀ × (1 + g) × 3

D₃ = 1.5 × (1 + 9.67%) × 3

D₃ = $1.9876

Finally:

Y₂ = $30.2067

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
