Answer 1

a.

Growth Rate = (1 - b)ROE

0.04 + (1 - b)0.18

b = 77.78%

D₁ = 3(0.7778) = $2.33

Stock Price = D₁/(r - g)

Stock Price = 2.33/(0.16 - 0.04)

Stock Price = $19.42

b.

PVGO = Stock Price - E₁/Cost of Equity

PVGO = 19.42 - 3/0.16

PVGO = $0.67

c.

Growth Rate = 3%

Stock Price = 2,33/(0.16 - 0.03) = $17.92

PE Ratio = 17.92/3 = 5.97
