Procter and Gamble (PG) paid an annual dividend of $ 2.87 in 2018. You expect PG to increase its dividends by 8.0 % per year for the next five years (through 2023), and thereafter by 3.0 % per year. If the appropriate equity cost of capital for Procter and Gamble is 8.0 % per year, use the dividend-discount model to estimate its value per share at the end of 2018.

$73.47

Explanation:

2.87 is the current dividend paid (D0)

Use that to find dividends for the next 5 years;

D1 = D0(1+g) ; g being the growth rate

D1 = 2.87(1.08) = 3.0996

D2 = 3.0996(1.08) = 3.3476

D3 =3.3476(1.08) = 3.6154

D4 = 3.6154(1.08) = 3.9046

D5 = 3.9046(1.08) = 4.2170

Next, find terminal cashflows;

D6 (yr 2024) = 4.2170 (1.03) = 4.3435

Find Present values of all the dividends using the 8% discount rate with the formula; PV = FV/

PV(D1) = 2.87

PV(D2) = 2.87

PV(D3) = 2.87

PV(D4)= 2.87

PV(D5)= 2.87

PV of terminal value; PV(D6 onwards) =  = 59.1223

Sum up the PVs to find value per share;

$2.87 +$2.87 +$2.87 +$2.87 +$2.87+ $59.1223 = $73.47

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
