    Dividend cover = earnings per share / dividend per share.

    So earnings per share = 3 x 0.30 = 0.90

    PE ratio = Market value per share / earnings per share.

    So market value per share = 12 x 0.90 = $10.80.

    Why ‘but’ ??

    Using the dividend growth formula from the formula sheet,
    MV = (40 x 1.05) / (0.20 – 0.05) = 280c or $2.80

    However the formula gives an ex div MV. The question said that they are about to be a dividend and therefore we need the cum div MV which is 2.80 + 0.40 = $3.20

    For the first question it is not clear what figures you are giving.

    The earnings per share = (profit available for ordinary shareholders) / (number of ordinary shares)

    The profit available for the ordinary shareholders = profit minus the preference dividend.

    Second question:

    The 8 year annuity discount factor at the IRR must be 24,000/5,000 = 4.8

    If you look in the annuity d.f. tables along the 8 year row, the interest rate (IRR) giving the nearest to 4.800 is 13%
