Explanation / Answer

Using Gordon Growth Model

P0 = D1 / (Ke-g)

Where

P0 - Current Market Price

D1 - Expected next year dividend

Ke - rate of return

g - growth rate

a) P0 = D1 / (Ke-g)

22 = (1.21*1.06) / (Ke-.06)

22 = 1.2826 / (Ke-.06)

22Ke-1.32 = 1.2826

22Ke = 2.6026

Ke = .1183 = 11.83%

b) P0 = D1 / (Ke-g)

22 = (1.21*1.11) / (Ke-.11)

22Ke-2.42 = 1.3431

22Ke = 3.7631

Ke = .17105 = 17.105% = 17.11%
