Problem:
EMC Corporation has never paid a dividend. Its current free cash flow of $370,000 is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.7%. The weighted average cost of capital is WACC = 11.75%. Calculate EMC's estimated value of operations.
A stock is trading at $80 per share. The stock is expected to have a year-end dividend of $3 per share (D1 = $3), and it is expected to grow at some constant rate g throughout time. The stock's required rate of return is 11% (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return). What is your forecast of g? Explain all workings out and describe comprehensively.
