Answer:
Price today = $26.54
Explanation:
The price of the stock can be calculated using the Dividend Discount Model (DDM). The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The formula to calculate the price of the stock is attached.
Price today = 2.1 * (1+0.08) / (1+0.11) + 2.1 * (1+0.08) * (1+0.06) / (1+0.11)^2 +
2.1 * (1+0.08) * (1+0.06) * (1+0.04) / (1+0.11)^3 +
[(2.1 * (1+0.08) * (1+0.06) * (1+0.04) * (1+0.02)) / (0.11 - 0.02)] / (1+0.11)^3
Price today = $26.54

Answer:
5.925%
Explanation:
For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $1,050
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% = $80
NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 5.925%
