Another
difficult
example
You
have
been
asked
to
value
a
share
for
SkipFit,
a
company
that
manufactures
skipping
ropes
and
other
fitness
equipment.
You
have
been
informed
that
SkipFit
will
pay
a
dividend
of
$0.30
for the
next
2
years.
Subsequently,
the
company
will
not
pay
dividends
for
two
years
(as
they
expect
to
retain
earnings
to
invest
in
profitable
projects).
After
this
period
of
no
dividends,
SkipFit
expects
to
pay
a
dividend
of
$0.55,
with
subsequent
dividends
growing
at
7%
p.a..
If
the
required
rate
of
return
on
equity
is
10%
p.a.,
and
assuming
dividends'éare
paid
at
the
end
of
the
year,
what
is
the
value
of
one
SkipFit
share
today?
