SDE is 100% equity financed. Its cost of capital (apply this to all cash flows) is 11.2% and the payout ratio is 79%. Expected earnings per share of SDE at next year (t = 1) are $6.6. Assume that without new investments, expected earnings of SDE would remain at their time-1 level in perpetuity. All future investments are expected to generate $0.2 in incremental earnings for each $1 of investment. For an investment made at time t, incremental cash flows are generated starting in year t + 1. (a) Compute expected dividend per share of SDE next year (t = 1): $ (b) Compute expected dividend per share of SDE two years from now (t = 2): $ (c) What is the present value of growth opportunities (PVGO) of SDE today? $
