Explanation / Answer

45.

Value after year 4=(D4*Growth rate)/(Required return-Growth rate)

=(1.01*1.035)/(0.09-0.035)=$19.00636364

Hence current price=Future dividends*Present value of discounting factor(9%,time period)

=0.51/1.09+0.56/1.09^2+0.71/1.09^3+1.01/1.09^4+19.00636364/1.09^4

=$15.67(Approx).

46.

Required return=(D1/Current price)+Growth rate

=(1.96/39)+0.04

=9.03%(Approx).

47.

Dividend yield=Dividend/Current price

=(1.72/33)=5.21%(Approx).

Capital gains yield=Growth rate=4%
