The point estimate or p hat is a single value that shows the best estimation of a certain parameter among a population.
To calculate point estimate, we divide the parameter by the whole population.
In case of this problem:
p hat = 51/84 = 0.607
To get the percent, we multiply the output by 100:
% of point estimate = 0.607 x 100 = 60.7%

Explanation:
a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now? 
This will be calculated as:
= P0 × (1 + g)
where,
P0 = $40
g = growth rate = 7%
= P0 × (1 + g)
= 40 × (1 + 7%)
= 40 × (1 + 0.07)
= 40 × 1.07
= $42.80
b. What is the required rate of return? 
This will be:
= (D1 / P0) + g
where D1 = D0 × (1+g) = 1.75 × (1+0.07) = 1.75 × 1.07 = 1.8725
= (D1 / P0) + g
= (1.8725 / 40) + 0.07
= 0.1168
= 11.68%
