Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts

that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $2.50000 dividend at that time (D₃ = $2.50000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 13.00000% for the following two years (D₄ and D₅). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin’s dividend to grow at a constant rate of 3.66000% per year. Goodwin’s required return is 12.20000%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin’s horizon value at the horizon date (when constant growth begins) and the current intrinsic value. To increase the accuracy of your calculations, do not round your intermediate calculations, but round all final answers to two decimal places.

Goodwin’s horizon value at the horizon date when the constant growth begins equals $38.7481 and the current intrinsic value equals $27.1393.

<h3>What is a horizon value?</h3>

This refer to the value of an asset beyond the forecasted period when future cash flows can be estimated

What is a current intrinsic value?

This refers to the current perceived or true value of an asset.

Therefore, the horizon value at the horizon date when the constant growth begins equals $38.7481 and the current intrinsic value equals $27.1393.

Note: The calculations leading to the final answer of horizon value and current intrinsic value is explained in the attached image.
