Explanation / Answer

a) Dividend for all 4 years are as under, calculating by the formulae Dt=D0(1+g)^t

year1= 3.34, year2=4.37, year3=5.73, Year4=6.13( Applying constant growth of 7.1% for 1 year)

b) Price at the end of 3 years

P3= D4/(ks-g)

=6.13/.12-.071

=125.29

c) Current Share price, Discount all dividends and Price at the end of 3 years

3.34/(1.12)+ 4.37(1.12)^2+5.73(1.12)^3+125.29/(1.12)^3

=100.41
