Expected earnings per share

$27.90

Plow-Back Ratio

0.89

0.50

Book Value per Share

$100.00

Assume that without new investments, expected earnings of IUB 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 11.1%.

(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 percent).

Please show all formula and work. I am attempting to understand the mechanisms.
