Answer:

Price per share = $78.75

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.

If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:

Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)  

Where Do- Dividend now, g- growth rate, k- required rate of return(cost of equity)

Note Do (1+g) represents the expected dividend in the first year

DATA:

Do (1+g) = 3.15

g= 8%

k= 12%

Price per share = 3.15/(0.12- 0.08) = $78.75

Price per share = $78.75
