f.the company will be in business forever?
a.the company will be in business for 10 years and not have a
liquidating dividend?
=1.70*(1+12%)/(1+16%)*(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%))^10)/(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%)))=14.08746449
b.the company will be in business for 20 years and not have a
liquidating dividend?
=1.70*(1+12%)/(1+16%)*(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%))^20)/(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%)))=24.00567151
c.the company will be in business for 25 years and not have a
liquidating dividend?
=1.70*(1+12%)/(1+16%)*(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%))^25)/(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%)))=27.80261683
d. the company will be in business for 40 years and not have a
liquidating dividend?
=1.70*(1+12%)/(1+16%)*(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%))^40)/(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%)))=35.90478284
e.the company will be in business for 90 years and not have a
liquidating dividend?
=1.70*(1+12%)/(1+16%)*(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%))^90)/(1-((1+12%)/(1+16%)))=45.57693441
f.the company will be in business forever?
=1.70*(1+12%)/(16%-12%)=47.6
