A company is expected to pay future dividend as follows
Y1 = $1
Y2 = $1.5
Y3 = $2
From Y4 the dividend will consistently grow by 4% each year. The Ke is 10%.
Required:
Estimate the market Price of each share.
Solution
Market price of each share should be the present value of future dividends discounted at ke
Years dividends disc factor at Ke PV
1 1 0.909 0.91
2 1.5 0.826 1.24
3 2 0.751 1.50
4-? 2(1+4%) = 2.08 (1/(10%-4%)) X 0.751 26.03
29.68
Sir in the above solution , I did not understand just 1 thing, that in yr 4 to perpetuity, calculating its discount factor should be 1/10%= 10 – 2.487= 7.513 na? Can you please explain me DF for year 4 to perpetuity .It should be 7.513 in my opinion after watching the OT lecture . And then 2.08 should be multiplied by 7.513 to get PV at year 4
From year 4 onwards it is an inflating perpetuity, and discounting at 10% would only be correct if there was no inflation.
When there is inflation we need to use the dividend growth formula, and I go through examples like this in the lectures on the valuation of securities.
