Suppose you know that a companys stock currently sells for 6

Suppose you know that a company’s stock currently sells for $65.40 per share and the required return on the stock is 11 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between capital gains yield and dividend yield.

If it’s the company’s policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Solution

$65.4 is the price per share a company sells stock of it and expects 11% return on it

i.e;65.4*.11= 7.194

the amount is equally divided for capital and dividends yield

7..194/2= 3.597

$3.597 is the current dividend per share
