Q1 Martell Mining Company's ore reserves are being depleted, so its sales are falling Also, because its pit is getting deeper each year, its costs are rising. As a result, the company's earnings and dividends are declining at the constant rate of 5% per year. If current dividend is $5 and required rate of return 17.20%, what is the value of Martell Mining's stock?
Q2 War Corporation just paid a dividend $1.5 a share. The dividend is expected to grow 9.20% a year for the next 3 years and then at 5% a year thereafter. What is the expected dividend per share for each of the next 4 years?
1. The value is computed as shown below:
= [ Current dividend x (1 - growth rate) ] / (required rate of return + growth rate)
= [ $ 5 x 0.95 ] / (0.1720 + 0.05)
= $ 4.75 / 0.222
= $ 21.40
2. Expected dividend is computed as shown below:
Dividend in year 1 is computed as follows:
= Dividend paid x (1 + growth rate)
= $ 1.5 x 1.092
= $ 1.638
Dividend in year 2 is computed as follows:
= Dividend in year 1 x (1 + growth rate)
= $ 1.638 x 1.092
= $ 1.788696
Dividend in year 3 is computed as follows:
= Dividend in year 2 x (1 + growth rate)
= $ 1.788696 x 1.092
= $ 1.953256032
Dividend in year 4 is computed as follows:
= Dividend in year 3 x (1 + growth rate)
= $ 1.953256032 x 1.05
= $ 2.050918834
