Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1a. Dividends one year from now (D1) = Current Dividend *(1+ Growth rate)

= 2.16 * (1+0.12)

= $2.4192

1b. Horizon Value = Expected Dividend / (Required rate – Growth rate)

Required rate = Risk free rate + Beta * Market Risk Premium

= 3% + 1.90*3.6%

= 9.84%

Hence Horizon Value =

= 2.4192 * (1+0.024) / (0.0984 -0.024)

= 2.47726 / 0.0744

=$33.2965

1c. Intrinsic value of portman’s stock = Present value of (Horizon value + D1)

= (33.2965 + 2.4192) / (1+0.0984)^1

= 35.7157 / 1.206483

= $29.60
