Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

ROE = 20%
Plowback Ratio, b = 30%
Market Capitalization Rate, r = 13%

Growth rate, g = ROE * b
Growth rate, g = 20% * 0.30
Growth rate, g = 6%

Next Year EPS, EPS1 = $3

Next Year Dividend, D1 = EPS1 * (1 - b)
Next Year Dividend, D1 = $3 * (1 - 0.30)
Next Year Dividend, D1 = $2.10

Current Price. P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Current Price. P0 = $2.10 / (0.13 - 0.06)
Current Price. P0 = $2.10 / 0.07
Current Price. P0 = $30.00

Current Selling Price is $30.00

Price in 3 years, P3 = P0 * (1 + g)^3
Price in 3 years, P3 = $30.00 * 1.06^3
Price in 3 years, P3 = $35.73

Expected selling price in 3 years is $35.73
