Could you please help me clarify sth from q4 june 2013 test?
Part a) Why we calculate the PV at the end of second year and then discount it for 2 years? Wouldn’t be correct to calculate PV at the end of the third year 2.5*(1.04)/(0.09-0.04)=$52m and then discount it for 3 years which would give a PV of $40.14m (52m*0.772)
That would work, provided you also added on the PV of the dividend received in 3 years time as well. What you are doing is only looking at the dividends from time 4 onwards.
