Explanation / Answer

Required return - growth rate = dividend yield


InternetServiceCo

dividend yield = 15%-10.5%= 4.5%

expected capital gains yield = 10.5%


Ordinary Ltd

dividend yield = 15%-1%= 14%

expected capital gains yield = 1%


NotWithIt Ltd

dividend yield = 15%-(-4%)= 19%

expected capital gains yield = -4%


Amazing Corp

P= 5*(1+21%)/1.15+ 5*(1+21%)^2/1.15^2 + (5*(1+21%)^2*(1+12.5%)/(15%-12.5%))/1.15^2=259.89

dividend yield =5/259.89 = 1.92%


expected capital gains yield =21%
