Stock Values. Integrated Potato Chips paid a $1 per share dividend yesterday. You expect the dividend to grow steadily at a rate of 4 percent per year.

1. What is the expected dividend in each of the next 3 years?
Year 1 $1(1.04) = $1.04
Year 2 $1.04(1.04) = $1.08
Year 3 $1.08(1.04) = $1.12
2. If the discount rate for the stock is 12 percent, at what price will the stock sell?
We can find the appropriate stock price by using the following equation.

P = D0(1 + g) where D0 is the dividend this year
(k - g) k is the required rate of return
g is the growth rate

P = 1(1 + 0.04)
(0.12 - 0.04)

P = $13
3. What is the expected stock price 3 years from now?
P = 1.12(1 + 0.04)
(0.12 - ...
