Explanation / Answer

True value method =>[D0 (1 + g) ] / (Ke - g)

D0 => Dividend today

.g= growth

Ke = rate of return

119.14 = [D0 (1+10%)] /(12-10)

D0=> 2.15 (1.80%)

Rate of return

119.14= [ 2.08 (1 +10%) ] / (ke -10%)

119.14 (ke-0.10) = 2.288

ke=> 11.92%

Annual Rate of retrun => 11.92%

PE Multiple > Share price / eps

=> 119.14 / (9.22+10%)

11.75

PE Mulitple => 11.75 Times

Holding period return =>( P1-P0 +D) / P0

P1=> ending value

P0 => beggining value

=> [(119.14-92 + 2.08) / 92]*100

Holding Perio Return =>31.77%
