Jand, inc., currently pays a dividend of $1.22, which is expected to grow indefinitely at 5%. if the current value of jand’s shares based on the constant-growth dividend discount model is $32.03, what is the required rate of return? (do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

9%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is basically how much an investor is expecting in return for his investment.

The formula for price of stock is =

P = Do(1+g)/rs - g

P = price of stock

Do = dividend

g = growth

rs = required rate of return

We need to find out rs, therefore,

32.03 = 1.22(1+5%)/rs- 5% = 9%

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
