Constant Growth Stock Valuation             

You are analyzing Jillian’s Jewelry (JJ) stock for a possible purchase. JJ just paid a dividend of $1.00 yesterday. You expect the dividend to grow at the rate of 4% per year for the next 3 years, if you buy the stock; you plan to hold it for 3 years and then sell it.

What dividends do you expect for JJ stock over the next 3 years? In other words, calculate D1, D2 and D3. Note that D0 = $1.00. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

JJ’s stock has a required return of 11%, and so this is the rate you’ll use to discount dividends. Find the present value of the dividend stream; that is, calculate the PV of D1, D2, and D3, and then sum these PVs. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

JJ stock should trade for $16.71 3 years from now (i.e., you expect = $16.71). Discounted at a 11% rate, what is the present value of this expected future stock price? In other words, calculate the PV of $16.71. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
