Answer : Calculation of Estimated Value of Brook's Stock :

Value of Stock = [D0 * (1 + growth rate)] / [Required Return - Growth rate]

When g = -6%

Value of Stock = [1.75 * (1 + (-0.06))] / [0.14 - (-0.06)]

= 1.645 / 0.20

= 8.225 or 8.23

When g = 0%

Value of Stock = [1.75 * (1 + 0] / [0.14 - 0]

= 1.75 / 0.14

= 12.5

When g = 5%

Value of Stock = [1.75 * (1 + 0.05)] / [0.14 - 0.05]

= 1.8375 / 0.09

= 20.42

When g = 10%

Value of Stock = [1.75 * (1 + (0.10)] / [0.14 - 0.10]

= 1.925 / 0.04

= 48.125 or 48.13

(b.) If Growth rate is 14% then Stock Price will be undefined.Therefore No, it is not a reasonable result, because in this case the value of stock is undefined.

If Growth rate is 15% the stock price will become negative .Therefore .No, it is not a reasonable result, because in this case the value of stock is negative, which is nonsense.

(c.) No ,it is not reasonable to expect that a constant growth stock would have gL > rs
