Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for the current price, P₀, of a stock that will pay annual dividends starting next year with D₁, with a constant annual growing rate, g, to perpetuity (indefinitely), for which is required a return of r percent, is:
[tex]P_0=\dfrac{D_1}{r-g}[/tex]
Substitute and solve for D₁, the next annual dividend:
[tex]\$34.50=\dfrac{D_1}{0.102-0.04}\\\\\\\D_1=\$34.50\times 0.062 =\$2.14[/tex]
