Lecture 1
Problem Set
• Goal: apply the theoretical knowledge you learnt during the lectures to a
practical case.
• Case study: Downloading data from CapitalIQ and estimating a stock
price using the Dividend Discount Method and the Comparable Method
• Some of the questions might go beyond what we covered during the
lectures. You are required to do additional readings.
• The case is worth 41 points and you also get 4 points for clear
presentation and writing (total = 45 points)
• Read carefully the main instructions (page 1).
• Your final document (PDF) must contain all your answers and workings
to the different questions (including results and tables from Excel if you
used it).
• Do not start at the last minute! You probably need 15-20 hours to
complete the entire assignment. 5
