Hello,

Below is a problem I have the answer for, but cannot get the proper excel formula. Any assistance with the correct excel formula is greatly appreciated!

I know the stock price today is $56.40 but I do not know how to correctly enter the formula. I have tried =162.79/(1+12.5%)^9 but it says incorrect even though this comes out to $56.40. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a $14 per share dividend 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 3.9 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 12.5 percent, what is the current share price? $ Future dividend Years until first dividend Dividend growth rate Required return 14.00 10 3.9% 12.5% Complete the following analysis. Do not hard code values in your calculations. Stock price in 9 years $ 162.79 Stock price today
