Thus The value of share is Po =15.07 $

Explanation:

Given data:

  • Annual dividend =  $0.65
  • % increase per year = 12%
  • Level off grow = 2 %
  • Firm's equity cost of capital = 8%

Solution:

Po = 0.65 / 1.08  + (0.65)(1.12)/ (1.08)^2 +(0.65)(1.12)/ (1.08)^3 + (0.65)(1.12)/ (1.08)^4 + (0.65)(1.12)/ (1.08)^5

Po = (0.65)(1.12)^4 (1.02) / (0.08 - 0.02) + 1.08^5

Po =15.07 $

Thus The value of share is Po =15.07 $
