A perpetuity is a series of cash flow payments occurring in equal amounts forever. The formula used to calculate the present value of a perpetuity is as follows:
where:
CF = the periodic cash flow of the perpetuity
i = the discount rate
Assume an investor wanted to purchase a preferred stock that paid an annual dividend of $3.50, using a discount rate of 7%, what is the value of the preferred stock?
We can calculate the present value using the formula above as follows:
In this particular scenario, the present value of the stream of dividend payments for this particular security would be $50.00.
I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have introduced in your post. They are really convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are too brief for novices. Could you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
