The VSE Corporation currently pays no dividend because of depressed earnings. A recent change in management promises a brighter future. Investors expect VSE to pay a dividend of $1 next year (the end of year 1). This dividend is expected to increase to $2 the following year and to grow at a rate of 10 percent per annum for the following 2 years (years 3 and 4). Chuck Brown, a new investor, expects the price of the stock to increase 50 percent in value between now (time zero) and the end of year 3 If Brown plans to hold the stock for 2 years and requires a rate of return of 20 percent on his investment, what value would he place on the stock today?
