Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

Recent Dividend, D0 = $3.00

Growth Rate for next 2 years is 50%, followed by a constant growth rate (g) of 10%

D1 = $3.00 * 1.50 = $4.50
D2 = $4.50 * 1.50 = $6.75
D3 = $6.75 * 1.10 = $7.43

Required Return, r = 15%

P2 = D3 / (r - g)
P2 = $7.43 / (0.15 - 0.10)
P2 = $148.60

P0 = $4.50/1.15 + $6.75/1.15^2 + $148.60/1.15^2
P0 = $121.38

Answer b.

Expected Dividend Yield = D1 / P0
Expected Dividend Yield = $4.50 / $121.38
Expected Dividend Yield = 3.71%

Expected Capital Gain Yield = Required Return - Expected Dividend Yield
Expected Capital Gain Yield = 15% - 3.71%
Expected Capital Gain Yield = 11.29%
