Expert Solution

Value of the Stock = PV of Dividends during first 3 years + PV of terminal price

PV of Dividends durind first three years =

=D1 + D2 + D3

=2*1.2/(1+.15) + 2*(1.2)^2/(1+.15)^2 + 2*(1.2)^3/(1+.15)^3 = 2.08 + 2.177 + 2.272 = 6.53

Value of Equity for Perpetuity with Gordan Growth Model = D4/r-g =

​D4=the estimated value of fourth year’s dividend = D3*(1.07) = 3.69

r=the company’s cost of capital equity

g=the constant growth rate for dividends, in perpetuity​

Terminal Value at fourth year = 3.69/(.15-.07) = 46.224

present value = 46.224/(1+expected return^3) = 30.39

therefore intrinsic value of stock = pv of (D1+D2+D3+ Terminal Value) = 2.08 + 2.177 + 2.272+30.39

=36.93 , comparing to $42 trading price , stock is over valued.
