Bedekar, Inc., has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays a $3.40 dividend every year in perpetuity. If this issue currently sells for $91 per share, what is the required return?

Respuesta :

Answer:

i=4.84%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question, is to remember the model of return for a perpeuity dividend calculation:

[tex]Value=\frac{1}{i-k}[/tex]

where value is the current stock price, i is the dividend yield and k is the growth rate, so applying to this particular case we have

k=3.4/91

k=3.74%

and solving i for the previous formula:

[tex]91=\frac{1}{i-0.0374}[/tex]

[tex]0.01098={i-0.0374}[/tex]

[tex]i=4.84\%[/tex]
