If Professor Siegel is correct that stocks are less risky than bonds, then the risk premium on stock may be zero. Assuming that the risk-free interest rate is 2.5 percent, the growth rate of dividends is 1 percent and the current level of dividends is $70, use the dividend-discount model to compute the level of the S

If Professor Siegel is correct that stocks are less risky than bonds, then the risk premium on stock may be zero. Assuming that the risk-free interest rate is 2.5 percent, the growth rate of dividends is 1 percent and the current level of dividends is $70, use the dividend-discount model to compute the level of the S&P 500 that is warranted by the fundamentals.

Instruction: Round your response to 2 decimal places.

The level of the S&P 500 is

Dividend discount model:

Price= D(1+g)/r-g

g=growth rate 1%

r= as given in question risk free rate 2.5%

D₀= $70

D₁=$70(1+0.01)  with growth rate

Solution:

70(1+0.01)/(0.025-0.01)

=$4713.33

all of them make sense but, i would have to say ask someone who has been there/or lives there, and/or read recent newspapers from that city.

hope this !
