Computation of the dividend one year from now (D1):-

D1 = D0*(1+Growth rate)

= $1.68 * (1 + 20%)

= $2.02

 

Computation of the horizon value (P1):-

D2 = D1 * (1 + Growth rate)

= $2.02*(1+4%)

= $2.10

P1 = D2/(Required return - Growth rate)

= $2.10 / (12.20% - 4%)

= $25.57

 

Computation of the intrinsic value of stock (P0):-

Intrinsic value of stock = ($2.02/(1+12.20%)^1) + ($25.57/(1+12.20%)^1)

= ($2.02/1.1220) + ($25.57/1.1220)

= $1.80 + $22.79

= $24.59

 

Computation of the expected dividend yield:-

Dividend yield = D1 / P0

= $2.02 / $24.59

= 8.20%

 

Working note:-

Required return = Risk free rate + (Beta * Market risk premium)

= 5% + (1.20 * 6%)

= 5% + 7.20%

= 12.20%
