Answer:

Answer • a) Intrinsic value per common share = 4.12 • b)Intrinsic value per common share = 20 . c)Intrinsic value per common share = 37.15 Explanation: Intrinsic value per common share = D1/(1+r) + D2/(1+r)^2 + D3/(1+r)^3 Intrinsic value per common share = 1.60/(1+8%) + 1.60/(1+8%)^2 + 1.60/(1+8%)^3 Intrinsic value per common share = 4.12 Intrinsic value per common share = D/r Intrinsic value per common share = 1.6/8% Intrinsic value per common share = 20 Intrinsic value per common share = D1/(1+r) + D2/(1+r)^2 + D3/(1+r)^3 +D4/(r-g) *1/(1+r)^3 Intrinsic value per common share = 1.60/(1+8%) + 1.60/(1+8%)^2 + 1.60/(1+8%)^3 + 1.60* (1+4%)/(8%-4%)*1/(1+8%)^3 Intrinsic value per common share = 37.15
