During the year just completed, Grips earned $3.28 per share and paid cash dividends of S1.58 per share Don$1.58). Grips earnings and dividends are expected to grow at 40% per year for the next 3 years, after which they are expected to grow 5% per year to infinity What is the maximum price per share that Newman should pay for Grips if it has a required retu of 10% on investments with risk characteristics similar to those of Grips? The maximum price per share that Newman should pay for Grips is s(Round to the nearest cent)

Explanation / Answer

Dividend for year 1=(1.58*1.4)=2.212

Dividend for year 2=(2.212*1.4)=3.0968

Dividend for year 3=(3.0968*1.4)=4.33552

Value after year 3=(Dividend for year 3*Growth rate)/(Required return-Growth rate)

=(4.33552*1.05)/(0.1-0.05)=$91.04592

Hence current price=Future dividends*Present value of discounting factor(10%,time period)

=2.212/1.1+3.0968/1.1^2+4.33552/1.1^3+$91.04592/1.1^3

=$76.23(Approx).
