3)

  • Dividend Yield = Dividend/Share Price
  • Dividend Yield = $3.50/$84.50
  • Dividend Yield = 4.14%

 

  • Price = Dividend/Dividend Yield
  • Price = $4.75/4.14%
  • Price = $114.68 (Rounding off difference) or $114.73

 

4)

  • Cost of Capital = D1/(r - g)
  • Cost of Capital = ($2.50 x 1.07)/(13% - 7%)
  • Cost of Capital = $44.58
