Assume IBM is expected to pay a total cash dividend of $3.95 next year and dividends are expected to grow indefinitely by 3.8 percent per year. Assume the required rate of return (i.e. equity holder's opportunity cost of capital) is 8.4 percent. Assuming this is the best information available regarding the future of this firm, what would be the most economically rational value of the stock today (i.e. today's "price")? Answer to 2 decimal places.

The dividend for Should I, Inc., is currently $2.05 per share. It is expected to grow at 24 percent next year and then decline linearly to a 6 percent perpetual rate beginning in four years. If you require a 13 percent return on the stock, what is the most you would pay per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Price per share
A firm expects to pay an annual dividend of $1.54 per share on its stock one year from today. Based on the historical dividend payment pattern, an analyst assumed the dividend will grow at a constant rate of 2.7 percent per year indefinitely. The appropriate discount rate for this stock is 13.43 percent. What is the value of one share of this stock today?
