    Explanation

    The Dividend Valuation Model (DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.

    This model would be applied as follows:

    PV from year 1 to 3

    Year Present Value (PV)

    1 1.25 * 1.275 * 1.1^ (-1) = 1.4358

    2 1.25 * 1.275^2 * 1.1^ (-2) = 1.6492

    3 1.25 * 1.275^3 * 1.1^ (-3) = 1.894

    Total 4.979

    Year 4 and beyond

    This will be done in two steps

    Step 1

    D * (1+g) / k-g

    1.25 * 1.275^4 / (0.11-0.06)

    =66.066

    Step 2

    Present Value in year 0

    =66.066 * 1.11^ (-3) = 48.3068

    Total present value = 4.979 + 48.306 = 53.286

    Price of stock today = $53.29
