1)
Value of stock = D1 / required rate of return - growth
Value of stock = 3.5 ( 1 - 0.02) / 0.16 - ( -0.02)
Value of stock = 3.43 / 0.18
Value of stock = $19.06
2)
Value of stock = 3.5 ( 1 + 0) / 0.16 - 0
Value of stock = 3.5 / 0.16
Value of stock = $21.88
3)
Value of stock = 3.5 ( 1 + 0.07) / 0.16 - 0.07
Value of stock = 3.745 / 0.09
Value of stock = $41.61
4)
Value of stock = 3.5 ( 1 + 0.13) / 0.16 - 0.13
Value of stock = 3.955 / 0.03
Value of stock = $131.83
