Hey
In June 2012 Q4 part B
The figures were discounted back to P0.
In June 13 Q4 part A
Figures are not discounted back? Seem abit strange.
And also the formula
P0(1+g) ÷ Ke-gAre both g representing he same growth? Ie future or are the different.
Please advice.
I get the 2013 one. But the 2012 one is confusing.
Thanks in advance

In June 13 Q4 the examiners answer calculates the value twice. Once assuming that the do not do option 1 and therefore the dividend continues growing at 3% a year, and the second assuming they did do option 1 – in that case the dividend will grow at 4% per year and also needed discounting back for 2 year because it started late.
(He needed to do both to be able to answer the question, which wanted you to advise whether it would be acceptable to shareholders)In June 13 Q4 you only needed to do it once because there was nothing else to consider, and you say you are happy with the discounting back in that question.
