Consider the pharmaceutical company, Seltaeb Corp which is weathering the current environment well through its development of anti-virus drugs. While last year's earnings from existing projects (steady-state earnings) were $3 per share, analysts are forecasting that Seltaeb will experience two years of abnormally high growth of 25% before settling down to a normal growth rate of 5% in year 3 and beyond. Seltaeb paid an annual dividend of $4 per share last year and the CEO has announced that dividend payments will mirror the growth in the company going forward. Assume that the current risk-free rate of interest is 2%, the expected long-run return of the S&P500 index is 10% and Seltaeb's beta is 1.5 What is the market's estimate of Seltaeb's present value of growth opportunities
