1. First Calculate the Value of share at Time 10 using Gordan growth formula.
GG formula =
P0 = Price of share today , D1= Dividend after 1 year, Ke= Cost of capital or required rate of return
g is Growth .
P0 above to be replace with P10 and D1 with D11 because we are calculating price at Time 10
So formula looks as
= 2.255 / ( 0.16 - 0.05)
= 2.255 / 0.11
Price of share at Time 10 = 20.5
2. Now calculate the present value of Dividends from Time 6 to Time 10 with Share value at Time 10.
PV =
PV = 0.575 + 0.545 + 0.517 + 0.490 + 0.465 + 4.647
Price of share = 7.24
