a. The intrinsic value is 25.5.

b. The intrinsic value is 51.

Explanation:

This is an example of dividen discounted model (DDM) with indefinite growth. The DDM is stated as below:

Stock intrinsic value = Next year dividend / (Discount rate - Growth rate)

a. If the discount rate is 18%, the stock value = 4 x (1 + 2%) / (18% - 2%) = 25.5.

b. If the discount rate is 10%, the stock value = 4 x (1 + 2%) / (10% - 2%) = 51.
