Answer:
e) $37.05
Explanation:
Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.
So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula
P = D (1+g)/r-g
r- rate of return, g = growth rate
Present value of the future dividends:
PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)
= 1.4047
PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)
= 1.27
PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)
Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)
=43.114
Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
=43.114 × (1.12^(-2))
= 34.37
Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37
= $37.05
Note
To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
The correct answer is product development.

Answer:
Statement of retained earnings.
Explanation:

Moreover, it should be reported in the statement of retained earnings
Hence, the second last option is correct
Answer:
CPI at the beginning of the year = 192.52
Explanation:
given data
nominal interest rate = 7 percent
real interest rate = 4 percent
CPI = 198.3
to find out
CPI at the beginning of the year
solution
we know that according to fisher equation
1 + r = 
....................1
and for smaller values is equivalent to r
r = n - i .....................2
here r is real interest rate and n is nominal interest rate and i is inflation rate
so from equation 2
4 = 7 - inflation rate
inflation rate = 3 percent
so
Rate of inflation = (CPI at the end of the year - CPI at the beginning of the year) × 100 ÷ CPI at the beginning of the year
put here value
3% = (198.3 - CPI at the beginning of the year) × 100 ÷ CPI at the beginning of the year
CPI at the beginning of the year = 
CPI at the beginning of the year = 192.52
