Explanation / Answer

Question 12:

Price of the stock would be the present value of all future dividends and prices.

D1 = 2 x (1+0.28) = 2.56

D2 = 2.56 x (1+0.28) = 3.2768

P2 = D2 x (1+g) / (R-g)

     = 3.2768 x (1+0.08)/ (0.16-0.08)

    = 44.24

Now, we need to compute PV of dividends and prices:

So, the current price of the stock would be 37.52.
