Reizenstein Technologies (RT) has just developed a solar panel capable of generating 200% more electricity than any solar panel currently on the market. As a result, RT is expected to experience a 19% annual growth rate for the next 5 years. By the end of 5 years, other firms will have developed comparable technology, and RT's growth rate will slow to 7% per year indefinitely. Stockholders require a return of 14% on RT's stock. The most recent annual dividend (D0), which was paid yesterday, was $2.60 per share.
Calculate the estimated intrinsic value of the stock today, . Proceed by finding the present value of the dividends expected at t = 1, t = 2, t = 3, t = 4, and t = 5 plus the present value of the stock price that should exist at t = 5, . The stock price can be found by using the constant growth equation. Note that to find you use the dividend expected at t = 6, which is 7% greater than the t = 5 dividend. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate computations.
