Explanation / Answer

$ 7.87

working:

Step-1:Calculation of present value of next four year's dividend Year Dividend Discount factor Present Value a b c=1.16^-a d=b*c 1 $           0.65            0.8621 $          0.56 2 $           0.70            0.7432 $          0.52 3 $           0.85            0.6407 $          0.54 4 $           1.15            0.5523 $          0.64 Total $          2.26 Step-2:Present Value of after year four's dividend Present Value = (D4*(1+g)/(Ke-g))*DF4 Where, = (1.15*(1+0.042)/(0.16-0.042))*0.5523 D4 $       1.15 = $          5.61 g 4.20% Ke 16% Step-3:Present value of all future dividends DF4      0.5523 Present Value of all future dividends = $              2.26 + $       5.61 = $              7.87 As per dividend discount model, price of stock is the present value of future dividends. So, Price of stock is $ 7.87
