Answer:

P0 = $11.968577  rounded off to $11.97

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 = 0.37 / (1+0.09)  +  0.42 / (1+0.09)^2  +  0.57 / (1+0.09)^3  +  

0.87 / (1+0.09)^4  +  [(0.87 * (1+0.028) / (0.09 - 0.028)) / (1+0.09)^4]

P0 = $11.968577  rounded off to $11.97
