Finance

Suppose that an analyst believes that Google (GOOG) will begin paying dividends in 4.00 years. At that time, the analyst expects Google to have a dividend payout rate of 60.00%, while the rest of earnings will be re-invested in the business. Currently, earnings per share for the company is $36.30. Analysts expect EPS to grow at 18.00% per year for the next 4.00 years. At that time, earnings growth will slow down to 5.00% per year. If investors in Google seek a 9.00% annual return, what is the value of a share today? (assume that the analyst is correct!)
