Dividends one year from now (D1) Horizon value (P1) Assuming that the market is in equilibrium, use the Intrinsic value of Portman's stock information just given to complete the table. Now let's apply the results of your calculations to the following situation: Portman has 500,000 shares outstanding, and Judy Davis, an investor, holds 7,500 shares at the current price (computed above).
