Explanation / Answer
Solution :
ROE
20%
RETENTION RATIO (b)
30%
expected return (Ke)
13%
EPS
2.00
g=ROE*b
6.00%
dividend = 2*(1-.30)
1.4
P0 = D1/(Ke-g)
20.00
1.4/(.13-.06)
P/E ratio= MPS/EPS=20/2
10
b.PVGO = P0 - (EPS/Ke)
4.62
20-(2/.13)
c..
g=ROE*b=.20*.15
3.00%
dividend = 2*(1-.15)
1.7
P0 = D1/(Ke-g)
17
1.7/(.13-.03)
P/E ratio= MPS/EPS=17/2
8.50
PVGO = P0 - (EPS/Ke)
1.62
17-(2/.13)
P0= current market price. D1=expected dividend at end of year1,g=growth
ROE
20%
RETENTION RATIO (b)
30%
expected return (Ke)
13%
EPS
2.00
