MF Corp. has an ROE of 14% and a plowback ratio of 40%. If the coming year's earnings are expected to be $2 per share, at what price will the stock sell? The market capitalization rate is 12%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Explanation / Answer

a) Price of share = $ 18.75

Exp Div = Exp EPS x ((1-plow-back ratio) = 2 x (1-0.4) = 1.2 Growth rate = (plow-back ratio) x (ROE) = 0.4 x 0.14 = 0.056 Using the dividend growth model:   P = ExpDiv/(r-g) =   1.2/(0.12-0.056) = $18.75
