Ans. Value of Stock = $48.4
Dividend for first 2 years = Net earnings
Dividend per share = Dividend / no. of shares = 18.5 / 8.3 = $2.229
Dividend in year 1 = 2.229 * (1+5%) = $2.34
Dividend in year 2 = 2.34 * (1+5%) = $2.457
Dividend in year 3 (25% of earnings were used for the project)= 2.457 * (1+5%) * (1-25%) = $1.935
Dividend in year 4 (excl. net income from new project) = 2.457 * (1+5%) * (1+5%) = $2.709
Net income from new project constant forever = $7 million
Dividend per share from the new project (will be constant forever) = 7 / 8.3 = $0.843
Value of stock = Dividend in year 1 / (1+10%)^1 + Dividend in year 2 / (1+10%)^2 + Dividend in year 3 / (1+10%)^3+ (Dividend in year 4 (excl. net income from new project) / (discount rate - dividend growth rate)) / (1+10%)^4 + (Dividend per share from the new project / discount rate) / (1+10%)^4
Value of stock = (2.34/1.1) + (2.457/1.1^2)+ (1.935/1.1^3)+((2.709 / (10% - 5%)) / 1.1^4)+ ((0.843 / 10%)/ (1+10%)^4)
Value of stock = 2.127 + 2.031 + 1.454 + 37.006 + 5.758
Value of stock = $48.4
