Answer:
a. 87.5%
b. Stock A: 21%; Stock B: 28%; Stock C: 38.5%; T-bill: 12.5%
c. Standard deviation of the client's portfolio: 26.25%
Explanation:
a. y is calculated as:
Risky portfolio return * y + T-bill return * (1 - y) = Expected return of the portfolio <=> 0.14y + 0.06 ( 1-y) = 0.13 <=> y = 87.5%
b. Client investment in each stock and in T-bills:
Client investment in each stock = 0.875 * percentage of each stock in a risky portfolio ( because the risky portfolio is accounted for 87.5% of the whole investment)
=> Stock A = 24% x 0.875 = 21% ; Stock B = 32% * 0.875 = 28% ; Stock C = 44 * 0.875 = 38.5%
Client investment in T-bill = 1- y = 1 - 0.875 = 12.5%
c. Standard deviation is calculated as: Standard deviation of risky portfolio * y = 30% * 87.5% = 26.25% (because standard deviation of return in T-bill is 0)

Answer: $53.94
Explanation:
Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.
Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)
= $64
D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867
D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $3.49774
D₃ = 3.49774 * 1.22 = $4.2672428
Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (3.49774 / 1.12²) + (4.2672428 / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)
= $53.94
