Explanation / Answer

7)Price =D0(1+g)/(Rs-g)

       = 2.20(1+.0375)/(.15-.0375)

      = 2.20*1.0375/.1125

        = $ 20.29

correct option is "d"

8)Discount rate = [D1/price]+ g

       =[1.35/28.16]+.03

      = .0479+.03

       = .0779 or 7.79%

correct option is "B"

9)Growth rate =ROE*retention ratio

   5 = 15*R

   5/15 =r

r= .3333 or 33.33%

Payout ratio = 1-.3333= .6667 or66.67%

correct option is "D"

10)Terminal value at year 3 = D/r

       = 1.25/.108

         = 11.5741

Price today =[PVF10.8%,1D1]+[PVF10.8%,2*D2]+.....[PVF10.8%,3*Terminal value]

= [.90253*.45]+[.81456*.60]+[.73516*1]+[.73516*11.5741]

= .4061+ .4887+ .7352+ 8.5088

= 10.14

correct option is "c"
