DEQS’s market capitalization rate is 15% per year. a. What is your estimate of DEQS’s intrinsic value per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Assuming its current market price is equal to its intrinsic value, what do you expect to happen to its price over the next year? (Round your dollar value to 2 decimal places.) Because there is (Click to select) , the entire return must be in (Click to select) . c. What do you expect to happen to price in the following year? (Round your dollar value to 2 decimal places.)

a) $94.88

b)  in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks should increase to $109.11

Explanation:

year                      dividend              EPS

0                              0                       $10

1                               0                       $12

2                              0                       $14.40

3                              0                       $17.28

4                              0                       $20.736

5                              0                       $24.8832

6                              $11.45               $28.61568

growth rate up to year 5 = 20%

ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%

dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 15% x (1 - 40%) = 9%

cost of equity = 15%

horizon value at year 5 = $11.45 / (15% - 9%) = $190.83

current intrinsic value per stock = $190.83 / 1.15⁵ = $94.88

intrinsic price in 1 year = $190.83 / 1.15⁴ = $109.11
