Explanation:

Expected annual growth rate in dividends 7%

Dividend growth Model= Pv=Do(1+g)/Ke-g

present value = 1(1+7%) / 12%-7%

present value =1.07 /5%

present value =21.4

Expected annual growth rate in dividends 2%

Dividend growth Model= Pv=Do(1+g)/Ke-g

present value = 1(1+2%) / 12%-2%

present value =1.02 /10%

present value =20.4

Expected annual growth rate in dividends -1%

Dividend growth Model= Pv=Do(1+g)/Ke-g

present value = 1(1+(-1)%) / 12%-2%

present value =0.99/10%

present value =7.69
