Charlie Company is expected to grow at an annual rate of 6% indefinitely. The return on similar stocks is currently 11%. Charlie's board of directors declared a dividend of $1.85 yesterday. What should a share of Charlie Company sell for?

 

This one I am totally guessing BUT

if the return is 11% and the growth is 6% then the dividend must be 11-6=5%

You question does not say how often the dividend is paid but I will assume it is yearly.

5%X=1.85

X=1.85 / 0.05

X= $37

 

that might be the answer  LOL

I just answered one almost identical to this so you can copy the technique of that one.  :)
