VALUE of supper normanl growth rate
year cashflow pv@12% present value
1 $1.50(1.05)=1.575 0.893 1.41
2 $1.575(1.10)=1.7325 0.797 1.38
3 $1.7325(1.15)=1.9924 0.722 1.44
TOTAL=$4.23
VALUE of constant growth rate p3=d4/ke-kg
=1.9924(1.05)/0.12-0.06
=2.092/0.06
=34.87(it is terminal value)
present value of p3@t=0
=34.87*1/(1.12)3
=34.87*1/1.4049
=34.87*0.7117
=24.8202
PRESENT VALUE=$4.23+$24.8202
=$29.05
NOTE-
first we have found super growth rate,then we have to find constant growth rate through terminal value.
we have to convert terminal value in present value.
present value is equal supper growth rate + constant growth rate.
