Explanation / Answer

Dividend Growth

= Plowback Ratio * ROE

= 30%*20%= 6%

Required Return from Stock

= 10%

Share Price

= Coming Dividend/(Required Return - Dividend growth)

= (2*70%) /(10% - 6%)

= $35


PVGO

= Price - (earnings / Required Return)

= 35 - (2 / 10%)

= 15


Expected Rature of Return

= Dividend Growth + Dividend Yield

= 6% + 9%

15%


Share price of Horse and Buggy

= DIV1/ (r-g)

= 4 / [10% - (-6%)]

= 4 / 16%

= 25


Share price of Horse and Buggy for next year

= (DIV1*0.94) / (r-g)

= (4 * 94) / [10% - (-

= 23.5


PV

= -2,300+ (310/1.04) [ (1 - 1.04^ -15) / (1- 1.04 ^ -1) ] - 910/ (1.04)^15

= 641.41 million
