Wyatt Oil presently pays no dividend. You anticipate Wyatt Oil will pay an annual dividend of $0.74 per share two years from today and you expect dividends to grow by 5.36% per year thereafter. If Wyatt Oil's equity cost of capital is 14.64%, then the value of a share of Wyatt Oil today is:
Present Value of Dividend = Amount of Dividend in Year 2 * Present Value of Discounting factor(rate, time)
= $0.74*1/(1.1464)^2
= $ 0.5630660792437
Price at Year 2 = Expected Dividend in Year 3/ ( Required Return - Growth rate)
= [0.74* (1+5.36%)]/(14.64%-5.36%)
=$ 8.40155172413793
Present Value of Price at Year 2 = Price at Year 2 * Present Value of Discounting factor(rate, time)
= 8.40155172413793*1/(1.1464)^2
= $ 6.392741606585
Value of Share today = Present Value of Price at Year 2 + Present Value of Dividend
= 0.5630660792437 +6.392741606585
= $ 6.96
Answer = $ 6.96
