Explanation / Answer

1 Year Nature Cashflow PV Factor @ 8.5% Discounted Cashflow A B A*B 1 Dividend           1.18 0.9217               1.09 2 Dividend           1.39 0.8495               1.18 2 Market Price at the end of Year 2         59.04 0.8495             50.15 Intrinsic Value of Stock             52.42 Re = 8.5% Constant growth rate = g = 6% after 2 years Dividend Calculations Year Calculation Amount 1 D1 = 1* 1.18           1.18 2 D2 = 1* 1.18^2           1.39 D3 = 1* 1.18^2*1.06           1.48 Market Price at the end of Year 2 = D3 / (Re - g) Market Price at the end of Year 2 = 1.48 / (0.085 - 0.06) = $ 59.04 2 Growth rate = (plow-back ratio) x (ROE) = 0.4 x 0.15 = 6% Exp Div = Exp EPS x (1-plow-back ratio) = 7 x (1-0.4) = $4.2 Using Dividend Growth Model, Price = Expected Div / Re - g = 4.2 / 0.09 - 0.06 = $140 P/E Ratio = Stock Price/ EPS = $140 / 7 = 20 times 3 As per CAPM, Market Capitalization rate is calculated as Re = Risk Free rate of return + (Market Return - Risk Free rate)*Beta = 4% + (11% - 4%) * 0.7 = 8.9% Intrinsic Value of Stock = Expected Dividend / (Re - g) = 5 / (0.089 - 0.04) = $102.04
