What is the firm's intrinsic value today, Round your answer to two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Part A:

Stock Price 1 Year from Now = Current Price*(1+Growth Rate) = 31*(1+4%) = $32.24

Required Return = D1/Current Stock Price + Growth Rate = 1.5*(1+4%)/31 + 4% = 9.03%

--------

Part B:

Horizon Value = 2.75*(1+13%)^2*(1+.06)/(.17 - .06)*(1+.17)^2 = $24.72

------

Intrinsic Value = 2.75*(1+.13)^1/(1+.17)^1 + 2.75*(1+.13)^2/(1+.17)^2 + 2.75*(1+13%)^2*(1+.06)/(.17 - .06)*(1+.17)^2 = $29.94

Thanks.
