Based on the given data, pls find below workings, steps and answers highlighted in yellow:
Discounted Dividends = Dividends * Discounting Factor; The Discounting factor is computed based on the formula: For year 0, the discounting factor is 1; For Year 1, it is computed as = Year 0 factor /(1+discounting factor%) ; Year 2 = Year 1 factor/(1+discounting factor %) and so on;
- PV at Year 5 is computed as Total of all the Present values of dividends from Year 1 to Year 5;
- Terminal Dividend is calculated at 5% growth over the Year 5 dividend value; The Terminal value of stock is computed with the given formula: Terminal dividend / (Cost of Capital - Perpetual Growth)
- Present Value of the Terminal value of Stock is calculated by discounting the terminal value with the discount factor of Year 5;
