present value of stoke combine equation is $82.43

Explanation:

Given data

no of period = 4

discount rate = 6% = 0.06

dividends = $0.00, $2.30,​ 2.60, and​ $2.90

to find out

current stoke price

solution

we know dividend is 0 for st year so present value for 1st year will be 0 1

now we calculate

present value 2nd year dividend is = 2.30 / (1+0.06)^2

present value 2nd year dividend is = $2.05   2

present value 3rd year dividend is = 2.60 / (1+0.06)^3

present value 3rd year dividend is = $2.18    3

present value 4th year dividend is = 95.83 / (1+0.06)^4

present value 4th year dividend is = $75.91    4

present value of stoke  combine equation 1 + 2 + 3 + 4

present value of stoke  combine equation = 2.05 + 2.18 + 2.30 + 75.91

present value of stoke combine equation is $82.43
