HP 12C Stock Price Question

Hello,
I recently misplaced my TI-84C and have an HP 12C that I seldom use (only during summer internships) as I am in undergrad right now. The exam I will be taking this week has a question on stock pricing and was wondering if any one could help me figure out what functions are used for the calculation. I am fine with bonds, amortization, NPV, and almost everything else on the 12C but have not been able to figure out what functions to use in order to solve the problem listed below.
A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.75 at the end of the year. The required rate of return is rs
= 10.5%, and the expected constant growth rate is g = 6.4%. What is the stock's current price?

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!

"Raj Rajaratnam" Thank you! (trying to give you a silver banana but can't for some reason).

One cannot give silver bananas from jail. WSO knows all and knows you're in there. What, are you posting from a cell phone? That's 1 month solitary confinement.

Depends on how many years in general, and that is when the calculator is more helpful.

If that is all the information that is given, then it would just be a perpetuity value.

1.95 * (1+ 6.5% /1.065) / (.1245-.065) = Answer

If you had to do it on a calculator, and I am not for sure on the HP12C but if I had to guess: PMT= 1.95 I/Y= (.1245-.065) / (1.065*100) N= 999 or just a large number and compute present value

 

Texas Instruments is for high school math kids.

The 12C is the shit; excel mobile.

If RPN is too hard for you, I'm sure there's a consulting website somewhere for you to find others who sympathize.

High school math? You used a calculator? I vaguely remember having a TI87 so I could play dope wars and snake, it might have had other functionalities. I was mostly worried about finding people to buy beer.

You can always keep the 12c on your desk while secretly using a functional calculator, a la people in my CFA prep.

I find a consulting insult humorous for someone with a "cf" label.
