Explanation / Answer

1. D1 = $19.84, P0 = $280.62, Ke = 10.82%

280.62 = 19.84 / (0.1082 - g)

On Solving we gate G = Growth rate = 0.0375 or 3.75%

2. D1 = $5.78, G = 3.9%, Ke = 11.7%

Price = 5.78 / (0.117 - 0.039) = $74.10

3) D1 = $9.97, G = 2.8%, Ke = 16.6%

Price as on today = 9.97 / (0.166 - 0.028) = $72.25

Price in 4 Years = $72.25 (1 + 0.166)4 = $133.57

4) D1 = $5.96, G = 16.52%, Ke = 18.89%

Price = 5.96 / (0.1889 - 0.1652) = $251.48

Price after 1 Year = $251.48 ( 1 + 0.1889) = $298.98

Capital Gain Yield = {5.96 + (298.98 - 251.48)} / 251.48 = 21.26%

5) Realized rate of return = {0.32 + (46.06 - 40.05)} / 40.05 = 15.81%
