Required rate= 13.75%
Year Previous year dividend Dividend growth rate Dividend current year Horizon value Total Value Discount factor Discounted value
1 1 10.00% 1.1 1.1 1.1375 0.967
2 1.1 10.00% 1.21 1.21 1.29390625 0.93515
3 1.21 10.00% 1.331 14.197 15.528 1.471818359 10.55021
Long term growth rate (given)= 4.00% Value of Stock = Sum of discounted value = 12.45
Where
Current dividend =Previous year dividend*(1+growth rate)^corresponding year
Total value = Dividend + horizon value (only for last year)
Horizon value = Dividend Current year 3 *(1+long term growth rate)/( Required rate-long term growth rate)
Discount factor=(1+ Required rate)^corresponding period
Discounted value=total value/discount factor
