Required rate= 9.00%
Year Previous year dividend Dividend growth rate Dividend current year Horizon value Total Value Discount factor Discounted value
1 1.1 18.00% 1.298 1.298 1.09 1.1908
2 1.298 18.00% 1.53164 1.53164 1.1881 1.28915
3 1.53164 18.00% 1.8073352 63.859 65.6663352 1.295029 50.70646
Long term growth rate (given)= 6.00% Value of Stock = Sum of discounted value = 53.19
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
