Answer:

-33.33%

Explanation:

This is the The formula for this solution:

Value of Market = Expected Dividend divided by (Discount Rate-Growth rate of Dividend)

The Expected Dividend is 240

Then Value of Market = 240/(8% - 6%)

= 12,000,000,000

Then we get Value of market when discount rate = 9%

The Value of Market = 240/(9% - 6%)

= 8,000,000,000

the market value has changed.

We then get the percentage change will be = (

= (12,000,000,000 - 8,000,000,000) / 12,000,000,000

= 33.33%

The market value has fallen by -33.33%
