    Answer

    Consider the following calculation

    Explanation

    D1 = 1.15 * (1+0.15) = 1.3225

    D2 = 1.3225 * (1+0.15) = 1.52

    D3 = 1.52 * (1+0.13) = 1.719

    D4 = 1.719 * (1+0.06) = 1.82

    According to dividend discount model,

    P0 = D1 / (R-G)

    D1 - Dividend at t = 1

    R - Required rate

    G - Growth rate

    P3 = D4 / (R-g) = 1.821 / (0.12-0.06) = 30.36

    Find P0 by discounting the future dividends and P3

    P0 = 1.3225 / (1+0.12) + 1.52 / (1+0.12) ^2 + 1.718 / (1+0.12) ^3 + 30.36 / (1+0.12) ^3 = $25.23

    Current value of stock = $25.23

    b. P1 = 1.52 / (1+0.12) ^1 + 1.718 / (1+0.12) ^2 + 30.36 / (1+0.12) ^2 = $26.93

    P2 = 1.718 / (1+0.12) ^1 + 30.36 / (1+0.12) ^1 = $28.64

    c. Dividend yield = Dividend/Price

    For year 1, Dividend yield = 1.3225/25.23 = 0.0524 = 5.24%

    Capital gains yield = (P1-P0) / P0 = (26.93-25.23) / 25.23 = 0.0674 = 6.74%
