Answer:

Combined Communications

The current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 15.5 percent is:

= $46.00.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Annual dividend = $0.20

Expected growth rate for the next 4 years - 15%

Expected growth rate after 4 years = 11.5% (15% - 3.5%)

Required rate of return = 15.5%

Current Price of the share = Annual Dividend * (1 + Dividend Growth Rate)/ (Required rate of return - Dividend Growth Rate)

= ($0.20 * 1 + 0.15)/ (0.155 - 0.15)

= $0.23/0.005

= $46

Future Price after 4 years = ($0.23 * 1 + 0.115)/(0.155 - 0.115)

= $0.25645/0.04

= $6.41
