A. B. C. D.

D

Here, we are given all the inputs we need. Use the following steps to calculate the value of the stock:

First, expand the infinite period DDM:

DDMformula: P0= D1/ (ke"" g)

D1 -

= (Earnings * Payout ratio) / average number of shares outstanding

= ($200,000 * 0.625) / 50,000 = $2.50.

ke

= nominal risk free rate + [beta * (expected market return "" nominal risk free rate)]

Note: Nominal risk-free rate = (1 + real risk free rate) * (1 + expected inflation) "" 1

=(1.035)*(1.040) "" 1 = 0.0764, or 7.64%.

ke

= 7.64% + [1.8 * (13.0% - 7.64%)] = 0.17288.

g

= (retention rate * ROE)

Retention = (1 "" Payout) = 1 "" 0.625 = 0.375.

ROE = (net income/sales)*(sales/total assets)*(total assets/equity)

= (200,000/1,000,000)*(1,000,000/750,000)*(750,000/500,000) = 0.40 g

= 0.375 * 0.40 = 0.15.

Then, calculate:P0= D1/ (ke"" g) = $2.50 / (0.17288 - 0.15) = 109.27.
