A company currently has earnings (E 0 ) of $2.00 and a dividend (D 0 ) of $0.50. The firms current return on equity (ROE)

A company currently has earnings (E0) of $2.00 and a dividend (D0) of $0.50. The firms current return on equity (ROE) is 30%. The firm will maintain the same dividend payout and ROE over the next two periods. Then it will transition in a linear reduction in years 3, 4, and 5 to a growth of 3%. The firm will then grow at 3% to perpetuity. The firms beta is presently 1.6, but this will transition to 1 over the same period. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. ROE is expected to be 10% beginning in year 5 to perpetuity. What is the present value of this firms equity using a three-stage model with linear transition in years 3, 4, and 5?

0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Earnings Growth Rate 0.225 0.225 0.225 0.16 0.095 0.03 0.03
EPS 2 2.45 3.00125 3.48145 3.812188 3.926553 4.04435

Ke 0.136 0.136 0.136 0.124 0.112 0.1 0.1
PV Cashflows 0.539173 0.581414

I need to find DPS: D3, D4, D5, D6.

For D1 and D2, it was the normal formula. IE; D1: D0(1+g1) ; D2: D1(1+g2)
