Dividends Set Annually Suppose that a firm always announces a yearly dividend at the end of the first quarter of the year, but then pays the dividend out as four equal quarterly payments. If the next such "annual" dividend has been announced as $6, it is exactly one quar- ter until the first quarterly dividend from that $6, the effective annual required rate of return on the company's stock is 17 percent, and all future "annual" dividends are expected to grow at 6 percent per year indefinitely, how much will this stock be worth?
