Answer:
P0 = $9.0767092 rounded off to $9.08
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
- D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on
- g is the constant growth rate in dividends
- r is the discount rate or required rate of return
P0 = 0.31 / (1+0.1) + 0.36 * / (1+0.1)^2 + 0.51 / (1+0.1)^3 + 0.81 / (1+0.1)^4 +
[(0.81 * (1+0.025) / (0.1 - 0.025)) / (1+0.1)^4]
P0 = $9.0767092 rounded off to $9.08

Answer:
Scenario R(%) P ER R - ER (R - ER)2 (R - ER)2.P
Optimistic 16 0.15 24.0 -17.2 295.84 44.376
Most-likely 12 0.60 7.2 -21,2 449.44 269.664
Pessimistic 8 0.25 2.0 -25.2 635.04 158.760
ER 33.2 Variance 472.80
Standard deviation of the return
= √472.80
= 21.74%
Explanation:
The expected return is the product of return and probability. The total expected return is the aggregate of individual expected return. R - ER is the difference between individual return and total expected return. Variance is (R - ER) raised to power 2 multiplied by probability.
