Answer;
Part 1) Required Rate = 9.66%
Part 2) P1 = $30.74
Explanation;
Part 1)
Required Rate of return = ( D1 / P0 ) + G
here,
D1 = DIvidend @0th year + growth i.e. $1 + 6% = $1.06
P0 = Current market Price i.e. $29
G = Growth i.e. 6% per year
So,
Required Rate of return = $1.06 / $29 + 6%
Required Rate of return = 3.6552% + 6%
Required Rate of return ( Ke) = 9.6552% or 9.66%
Part 2)
Expected price 1 year from now = D2 /(ke - G)
here,
Dividend in year 2 = D0 x (1+Growth)^2 or D1 + growth rate i.e. $1 x (1.06)^2 = $1.1236
Required rate (Ke) = 9.6552%
Growth =6%
So,
Present value @ year 1 = $1.1236 / ( 9.6552% - 6%)
P1 = $1.1236 / 3.6552%
P1 = $30.7398 or $30.74
