You are analyzing Firm D which is a young firm. The firm just
paid a dividend of $10, but management expects to increase the
dividend payout by 5 percent per year indefinitely. Suppose you
require a 15 percent return on the stock of this young firm.
a) How much will you pay for a share today?
b)A number of publicly traded firms pay no dividends yet
investors are willing to buy shares in these firms. How is this
possible? Does this violate our basic principle of stock valuation?
Explain.
