Show all of these steps:

  • Start by computing total dividends given to the brother and sister 
  • Determine total shares outstanding for brother and sister
  • Determine total earnings for the company
  • Determine what fraction of earnings is paid as dividends (Payout ratio)
  • Then determine the fraction that is not paid as dividends (what is retained) = Retention ratio
  • Calculate growth rate by using formula: g = (ROE) X (Retention Ratio)
  • Determine the current dividend per share (D) based on the dividends paid and number of shares 
  • Determine the value per share of the company’s stock (P0) by using:

         P0 = D1 / (R – g)

        (Notice the formula uses D1, the next year dividend, which you have to determine)
