Answer question 2 and 3.

some notes for question 2 and 3.

Just need answer question 2 and 3

Solution for question 1:

EPS = $0.52

DPS = $31,200 /100,000 = 0.312

Total number of shares = 2*100,000 = 200,000

Growth rate = ROE * Dividend retention ratio

= ROE * (1 - DPS/EPS)

=15% * (1 - 0.312 /0.52)

= 6%

Hence, current growth rate = 6%

Current year dividend per share = $0.312

Dividend next year (Year 1) = D₁ = $0.312 * (1 +6%) = $0.33072

Share Price = D₁ / (Required rate of Return - Growth rate)

= $0.33072 /(12% - 6%)

=$5.512

Share price of the company = $5.512

Question 2

Notes: for question 2. Year 1 to year 5, use Silverlines EPS=0.52, DPS=0.312, ROE=15%.

Year 6, use Industry Averages EPS=0.36, DPS=0.27, ROE=11%.

Need to calculate D₁ D₂ D₃ D₄ D₅ D₆

V_E=D₁/(R_E-g)

g=ROE*(1-DPS/EPS)
