a. The horizon date will be the date when the growth rate becomes constant which in the given question is at the end of 3 years.
b. The value is computed as shown below:
= [ Dividend in year 4 / (required rate of return - growth rate)
= [ ($ 3 x 1.203 x 1.06) / (0.11 - 0.06) ]
= $ 109.9008
c. The value is computed as shown below:
= Dividend in year 1 / ( 1 + required rate of return)1 + Dividend in year 2 / ( 1 + required rate of return)2 + Dividend in year 3 / ( 1 + required rate of return)3 + 1 / ( 1 + required rate of return)3 [ ( Dividend in year 4 / ( required rate of return - growth rate) ]
= ($ 3 x 1.20) / 1.11 + ($ 3 x 1.202) / 1.112 + ($ 3 x 1.203) / 1.113 + 1 / 1.113 x [ ($ 3 x 1.203 x 1.06) / (0.11 - 0.06) ]
= $ 3.6 / 1.11 + $ 4.32 / 1.112 + $ 5.184 / 1.113 + 1 / 1.113 x [ ($ 109.9008) ]
= $ 3.6 / 1.11 + $ 4.32 / 1.112 + $ 115.0848 / 1.113
= $ 90.90 Approximately
