    Hello Sir,

    In the following question why we have not care about the price of the share in year 2 when the dividend is growing by 2%,

    or in this case we have to to care only about the first year price

    will it be enough to give the price as on now by looking only to year 1 and ignoring the growth after that as it is given in the question,

    Thanks,

    Q 180 in Kaplan 2022-2023 Exam Kit

    Bilbo  Co  is  an  unlisted  company  with  800,000  issued  shares.  Seema  is  one  of  the  founders and owns 20% of the issued shares. 
    Bilbo  Co  has  just  paid  its  annual  dividend  of  $0.30  per  share.  It  is  expected  that  next  year’s dividend will be $0.32 per share. After that it is expected that dividends will grow indefinitely at 2% per year. 
    Shareholders expect a 12% return from their investment. 
    Using the dividend valuation model, calculate the value of Seema’s shareholding. 
    A  $512,000  
    B 
    $522,240
    C 
    $489,600
    D 
    $480,000

    answer
    A 
    The value of next year’s dividend has been given (D1 = $0.32), so the share price calculation is: 
    Share price = D1 / (ke – g) = 0.32/(0.12 – 0.02) = $3.20 
    Seema’s shareholding is 800,000 × 20% = 160,000 shares 
    The value of this shareholding is 160,000 × $3.20 = $512,000 
    The  formula  on  the  formula  sheet  uses  D0(1  +  g)  but  remember  that  this  is  just  a  way  of calculating  the dividend cash flow at time period 1  (next year), D1, so if D1 has been given it is simpler to use that. Plus, in this case, the growth between D0 and D1 ($0.32/$.30 = 1.067, so growth was 6.7%) wasn’t the same as the growth after that, so applying a 2% growth figure to D0 would have been an incorrect approach. 
    Incorrect answers did not take the given figure for D1 and either used the dividend just paid with 2% growth to get an answer of $489,600 or incorrectly added growth of 2% to the given dividend figure of $0.32 to get an answer of $522,240.

    First, let’s calculate the present value of the next year’s dividend.

    The next year’s dividend is expected to be $0.32 per share. Since Seema owns 20% of the issued shares, her share of the dividend would be 20% of $0.32, which is $0.064.

    (Because … It is expected that next year’s dividend will be $0.32 per share. After that it is expected that dividends will grow indefinitely at 2% per year.)

    So next, we need to calculate the “present value” of the future dividends that will grow indefinitely at a rate of 2% per year. The formula to calculate the present value of a growing perpetuity is:

    Present Value = Dividend / (Required Rate of Return – Growth Rate)

    In this case, the dividend is $0.32 and the growth rate is 2%. The required rate of return is 12%. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

    Present Value = $0.32 / (0.12 – 0.02) = $0.32 / 0.10 = $3.20

    $3.20 * (800,000 * 0.20) = $512,000

    Hi,

    So we calculated the price depending on perpetuity of dividend

    so what is the benefit of the first calculation 20% of .32 =.64

    Thanks,

    Just to show you – Seema owns 20% of the issued shares, her share of the dividend would be 20% of $0.32, which is $0.064.
