Answer 1

Value of share = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation to find the value of share:

Value of share = Annual dividend / ( Required return - Growth rate)

Annual dividend = $1.20

Required return = 10%

Growth rate = 0

Now plus the values in the formula:

Value of share = Annual dividend / ( Required return - Growth rate)

Value of share = 1.20 / ( 10% - 0)

Value of share = 1.20 / 0.1

Value of share = 12
