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
