  1. In the chapter, a considerable amount of time was spent on estimating a stocks price using dividend discount models. Suppose the dividends per share over the same period were $1.00, $1.08, $1.17, $1.25, $1.35, and $1.40, respectively. Compute the expected share price at the end of 2020 using the perpetual growth method. Assume the market risk premium is 7.5 percent, Treasury bills yield 3 percent, and the projected beta of the firm is 1.10.

  1. Compare the estimated price range of the stock computed in question 1 to what you find in question 2. Offer an explanation as to why such a price disparity between the two models could occur.
