Dividend growth model
8y ago#1You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question and so in future you should ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about - then I will help you.
The dividend growth rate = third root of (30.0/28.1) - 1 = 0.022 (2.2%)
Therefore, using the formula from the formula sheet, the MV = 30 (1.022) / (0.11 - 0.022)
= 348 (or $3.48)
All of this is explained in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F9 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
