Expert Solution
Step 1

The value of the equity will be the sum of the present value of the dividends and the value per share is the value of equity divided by the number of shares.

Step 2

The value of the equity is $10,988,986.78

Equity =Planned divided to be paid now + Planned divided to be paid next year1+required return=3,500,000 + 8,500,0001.135=3,500,000+7,488,986.78=$10,988,986.78
