Question
Consider this scenario:
- Ultimate Electric, Inc. has just developed a solar panel capable of generating 200% more electricity than any solar panel currently on the market. As a result, Ultimate is expected to experience a 15% annual (nonconstant) growth rate for the next five years (supernormal period). When the five-year period ends, other firms will have developed comparable technology, and Ultimate's growth rate will slow to 5% per year (constant) indefinitely. Stockholders require a return of 12% on Ultimate's stock. The firm's most recent annual dividend (D0), which was paid yesterday, was $1.75 per share. What is the current price (P0) of the stock today? $9.4787 What is the market value (price) at the end of Year 5? $3.0608
- suppose your boss believes that Ultimate's annual nonconstant growth rate will only be 12% during the next five years and that the firm's normal growth rate will only be 4%. Under these conditions, what is the current price of Ultimate's stock? What is the price at the end of Year 5?

Total labor costs for the plant are expected to be CNY 2.4 billion in the first year and thereafter will increase by 7% a year. The land on which the plant is built can be rented for five years at a fixed cost of CNY 313 million a year payable at the beginning of each year.
