Answer:
P0 = 385.121878 rounded off to 385.12
Explanation:
To calculate the market price of the stock today, we will use the two stage growth model of DDM. The two stage growth model calculates the values of the stock today based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n + [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
P0 = 3 * (1+0.50) / (1+0.16) + 3 * (1+0.50)^2 / (1+0.16)^2 + 3 * (1+0.50)^3 / (1+0.16)^3 + [(3 * (1+0.50)^3 * (1+0.14)) / (0.16 - 0.14)] / (1+0.16)^3
P0 = $385.121878 rounded off to $385.12
