Hello Sir,
Hope you are doing great!
Ques-
Cant Co has a cost of equity of 10% and has forecast its future dividends as follows: 3/16
Current year: No dividend
Year 1: No dividend
Year 2: $0.25 per share
Year 3: $0.50 per share and increasing by 3% per year in subsequent years
What is the current share price of Cant Co using the dividend valuation model?
I have the answer with me but I am unable to understand it from it like why are they taking year 2 dividend and multiplying with .826 (how come we arrive to this figure)
Ask the Tutor ACCA FM
Dividend valuation model
4y ago#1The MV is the present value of all future expected dividends. Given that one of the future dividends is $0.25 in 2 years time we need to discount it for 2 years and include the PV in the calculation of the MV.
0.826 is the 2 year discount factor at 10%.
Watch the lectures working through example 7 in Chapter 15 of our free lecture notes where I work through a similar example and explain the reasoning.
