    Cant co has ke of 10%
    Dividend are as follows
    Year 1= 0
    Year 2= .25
    Year 3= .50 increasing @ 3%
    Find Po?

    I got stuck in this question then I watched your lectures on valuation of security example 7 and applied same mechanism.

    I initially discounted .25 DCF 2 yrs 10%
    .25*.826=.2065. (W1)

    Then used DVM
    .50*1.03/.10-.03= 7.3571
    Discounted @ 10% 3yrs = .751
    =5.521. (W2)

    Po= 5.7275

    Answer is $ 6.11.

    Sir,
    Where did I went wrong?

    You have gone wrong when using the formula on the $0.50 increasing.

    If the first growing dividend is in 1 years time, then the formula gives the PV ‘now’. Here, the first dividend is in 3 years time (which is 2 years later than in 1 years time) and so the result of the formula is the PV two years later i.e. at time 2, and so needs discounting for 3 years and not 3 years.

    In addition, if the first growing dividend were in 1 years time then the numerator in the formula ( Do(1+g) ) is the current dividend plus growth which is the same as the dividend in 1 years time.
    Here, everything is moved forward by 2 years (as explained above) and so $0.50 is the dividend in three years time and the numerator in the formula is just 0.50 (and not 0.5 x 1.03)

    I do not think that you are watching my free lectures because I do work through and explain examples like this one.
