Retention rate*Return on new investment | 100*21.4% | 100*21.4% | 48*21.4% | 48*21.4 | 18*21.4% | ||
EPS Growth Rate | 21.40% | 21.40% | 10.27% | 10.27% | 3.85% | ||
EPS Growth Rate | 2.673 | 3.245 | 3.939 | 4.344 | 4.790 | 4.975 | |
Retention Ratio | 100 | 100 | 48 | 48 | 18 | 18 | |
Dividend Payout ratio | 0% | 0% | 52% | 52% | 82% | 82% | |
Dividend=Div Payout*EPS | 0 | 0 | 2.049 | 2.259 | 3.928 | 4.079 |
Price from year 5, at 3.85% constant growth rate = 4.079/(8.7%-3.85%) = $84.1459
P(0) = 2.049/(1.087)^3 + 2.259/(1.087)^4+ (3.928+84.1459)/(1.087)^5 = $61.25
