Answer:
Answers below
Explanation:
According to constant Dividend Growth Model, Dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate.
Expected Earnings next yeae = E1 = $8
ROE of the firm = 15%
Plowback Ratio= 60%
Dividend Payout Rato = 1 - Plowback Ratio = 1-60% = 40%
Thus, Expected Dividend next year = D1 = 0.4 * 8 = $3.2
Growth of the Firm = g = ROE * Plowback Ratio = 15% * 60% = 9%
Market Capitalisation Rate = k = 10%
a) Price of the share using constant dividend growth model = D1/ (k - g) = 3.2 / (10% - 9%) = 3.2 / 0.01 = $320
b) Price with no growth will be the price where company pays out all the earnings as dividend and does not retain or plowbacka anything thus making growth = 0%
Thus, price with no growth = E1 / k = 8 / 0.1 = $80
c) Price of the share using constant dividend growth model = Price with no growth + Present Value of Growth Opportunities (PVGO)
Hence, 320 = 80 + PVGO
PVGO = 320 - 80 = $240
Thus, Present Value of Growth Opportunities = $240
