Digital Timber International (DTI) is a developer of distributed data storage technologies. The profitability of DTI and its investment policy are summarized in the following table:
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expected earnings per share | $24.9 | |||
| Plow-Back Ratio | 0.89 | 0.51 | 0 | |
| Book Value per Share | $100 |
Assume that without new investments, expected earnings of DTI would remain at their time-1 level in perpetuity. All investments are expected to generate a constant level of incremental earnings per year in perpetuity for each $1 of investment. For the time-1 investment, the cash flow is $0.2 per $1 invested, and for the time-2 investment, it is $0.15. For an investment made at time t, incremental cash flows are generated starting in year t + 1. The plow-back ratio will remain equal to 0 after year 3. The appropriate discount rate for all future cash flows of DTI is 12.4%.
(a) Compute the expected book value per share at time 1.
(b) Compute the expected earnings per share of DTI at time 2.
(c) Compute the expected value of the ex-dividend stock price at time 2.
d) Compute the expected value of the ex-dividend stock price at time 0.
(e) Compute the expected return (over a single-period) on the stock of DTI at time 0 (in %).
