Answer 1

Ans a) Value of share = dividend in next year/ ( required rate - growth rate)

= 1.64 * ( 1+ .05) /(.15 - .05)

= $17.22

Since the number of stock is not given it will be difficult to find value of firm but it will be equal to share price* value of share.

Ans b) Value of share = 1.64 * 1.07 /(.12 - .07)

= $ 35.1

Ans c) Value of share = 1.64 * 1.09/(.16 - .09)

= $25.54

Ans d) Value of share = 1.64 * 1.03 /(.16 - .03)

= $ 12.99

ans e) Value of share = 1.64 * 1.08 /(.16 - .08)

= $ 22.14
