| cgeek | 136 + 6 * (1 + 20%) + 9 = x * (1 + 20%) * (1 + 20%) => x = 105.69 |
| jamiejamie | using the formula from the text: d1/(1+k) + d2/(1+k)^2 + sp2/(1+k)^2 =6/1.2 + 9/1.2^2 + 136/1.2^2 =105.69 |
| aroman21 | Forget doing the math by hand, just do a NPV of the future cash flows discounted back at 20% |
| Winner | what are the steps using the Texax Instruments BA II to calculate the NPV of the future Cash flows? |
| cfahanoi | CF function is applied CF0=0 C01=6, F01=1 C02= (9+136) , F02=1 I=20 => NPV = 105.69 |
| missmalik | D_1= $6/SHARE D_2=$9/SHARE Value of the Stock= $6/1.20+ 9/((1,20))^2 +136/((1,20))^2 =5+ 9/1.44+136/1.44 = $5+6.25+94.44 =105.69 |
| rfvo | Nice 1, CfaHanoi!! |
| Kami02 | thanks cfahanoi |
| Tony1234 | Yeah NPV is the way to go. |
| 2014 | Not confidence in cashflow as answer. Just try same method in book for any question. You wont get rite answer. Dividend is divided by r-g =d/r-g and then you go to find pv as per text book. Here you have just directly similar questions i mean only few questions in textbook u get answer thru this method not all |
| davidmort | HP 12C? |
| robbiecow | g CF0 = 0 g CFj = 6 g CFj = 145 i = 20 f NPV = 105.69 |
| Kevdharr | $6.00/1.20 = $5 $9.00/1.20^2 = $6.25 $136.00/1.20^2 = $94.44 $5.00 + $6.25 + $94.44 = $105.69 Easy as ABC, Baby 123 |
| Rachelle3 | thanks Kevdharr much better this way! |
Your review questions and global ranking system were so helpful.
