    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——————-10

    in 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

    Either you have copied the answer wrongly, or there is a mistake in whichever book you found it.

    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.
