Answer #1
Current earning per share $      2.82
Rate of return 9.60%
Growth Rate 4.20%
Share price =Current earning per share*(1+Growth rate)/(Rate of return-Growth Rate)
Share price '2.82*(1+4.2%)/(9.6%-4.2%)
Share price 54.415
If next year dividend grow by 10.6%
Next year dividend 2.82*(1+10.6%)
Next year dividend $      3.12
Share price after 1 year
Current earning per share $      3.12
Rate of return 9.60%
Growth Rate 4.20%
Share price =Current earning per share*(1+Growth rate)/(Rate of return-Growth Rate)
Share price '3.1189*(1+4.2%)/(9.6%-4.2%)
Share price $ 60.18
So the current share price will be the present value of next year dividend and next year share price
Dividend-T1 $      3.12
Share price -T1 $   60.18
Total $   63.30
Share price today= 63.30/(1+9.6%)
Share price today= $   57.76
