there is a worked example of which i dont understand one part:
a firm pays 10c constant dividend at a cost of equity of 10%
pv= 10/.1=100c
if at T1 the div is not paid, it will be due on T2 and it will be worth 11c
so
T0————-T1—————-T2———————–T3
——————0—————10,11——————-10in calculating pv in this case, the working is shown as:
pv= 10 + 11/1.1^2 + (10/0.1 x (1/1.1^2))
i dont understand why 10 is being added. if at T2 the dividends are 10 plus 11, then why isnt it 21/1.2^2?
regards

The PV should be (10 + 11) / 1.1^2 + (10/0.1 x (1/1.1)^2)
Maybe they just forget to type the first set of brackets – do the arithmetic and see if their final answer is correct.
