Solution

A. We are required to calculate the intrinsic value of the stock for which we shall use the GORDON GROWTH MODEL.

But first, we need to calculate the growth rate,

Growth rate = ROE * Retention ratio

Growth rate = 0.10 * 0.35 = 0.035 i.e. 3.5%

Now, we need to find EPS = EPS of last year + growth rate

EPS = 2.35 + 3.5% = 2.4323

Dividend = EPS * Payout ratio = 2.43 * 35% = 0.8513

Now, we use GORDON GROWTH MODEL to calculate intrinsic value (P_0⁾

P₀ = Dividend / (K_e - g) where g = growth and K_e = cost of equity

P₀ = 0.85 / (0.08 - 0.035)

P₀ = $ 18.89 (approx = 18.71 given in options) we go for the nearest option. These decimal difference is due to rounding off.

B. The formula is : FCFE = FCFF - Interest (1-tax) + Net borrowings

FCFE = 10.75 - 7(1-0.34) + 4

FCFE = 10.75 - 4.62 + 4

FCFE = $ 10.13
