My first question is from Dividend Policy.Here's the question :

A Ltd. and B ltd are two companies.The most recent dividend paid by these two is Rs.1.8 per share and the required rate of return for both companies is 11%.The intrinsic value of share of A ltd. is Rs.34.12.The dividends of B ltd. are expected to grow at 8% annually for 3 years and 'X'% thereafter till infinity.The price of share of A ltd. is greater than the price of share of B ltd. by Rs.7.60.

The IV of B is 26.52 (34.12-7.6). The IV is the PV of the all future Cash Flows (here dividend). So discount the 3 dividends (5.11) and deduct that cumulative amount from IV. The remaining IV is the PV of the infinite future dividends. The dividend at y3 is 2.27 which will grow at x rate. Therefore:

21.41 = 2.27(1+x%)/.11/(1.11)^3

x=42%

hope u get it.
