Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $4.2500 dividend at that time (D-$4.2500) and believes that the dividend will grow by 22.10% for the following two years (Ds and Ds). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin's dividend to grow at a constant rate of 4.08% per year. Goodwin's required return is 13.60%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin's horizon value at the horizon date-when constant growth begins-and the current intrinsic value. To increase the accuracy of your calculations, carry the dividend values to four decimal places Term Value Horizon value Current Intrinsic valueY If investors expect a total return of 14.60%, what will be Goodwin's expected dividend and capital gains yield in two years-that is, the year before the firm begins paying dividends? Again, remember to carry out the dividend values to four decimal places. (Hint: You are at year 2, and the first dividend is expected to be paid at the end of the year.
