Holtzman clothiers's stock currently sells for $31.00 a share. it just paid a dividend of $1.00 a share (i. e., d0 = $1.00). the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year. what stock price is expected 1 year from now? round your answer to two decimal places. $ 32.24 what is the required rate of return? do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to two decimal places. 31 %

1. Year 1 expected value = $32.24

2. Required rate of return = 7.35%

Explanation:

1. For computing the stock price which is expected 1 year from now is shown below:

= Current Price × (1+rate)^number of years

= $31 × (1+0.04)^1

= $31 × 1.04

= $32.24

Hence, the expected 1 year value of stock price is $32.24

2. The required rate of return is computed by using an formula which is shown below:

= (Current Year dividend ÷ Current stock price)+ growth rate

where,

current year dividend is = D1

And, D1 = DO × (1+g)

where,

DO = previous dividend share

g = growth rate

So, $1 × (1+0.04)

= $1 × 1.04

= $1.04

Now apply these values to the above formula

So, required rate of return is equals to

= ($1.04 ÷ $31) + 0.04

= 7.35%

Hence, the required rate of return is 7.35%

b, fewer problems later! good luck

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.
