Assuming the required return is 12 percent, the stock price today is $40.61.
Given:
Dividend=$2.58 per share
Increase in Dividend=20% and 15%
Number of year=2 years
Increase in Annual Dividend=3.6%
Required return=12%
P2=Stock price today
Now let calculate the stock price today
P2 = [$2.58(1+0.20)]/(1+.12) + [$2.58(1+.20)(1+.15)]/(1+.12)^2 + {[$2.58(1+.20)(1+.15)(1+.036)]/(0.12 − 0.036)}/(1+.12)^2
P2 = [$2.58(1.20)]/1.12 + [$2.58(1.20)(1.15)]/1.12^2 + {[$2.58(1.20)(1.15)(1.036)]/(0.12 − 0.036)}/1.12^2
P2=($3.096/1.12)+ ($3.5604/1.2544)+ [($3.68857/0.084)/1.2544]
P2=$2.7643+$2.838329+($43.91155/1.2544)
P2=$2.7643+$2.838329+$35.0060
P2=$40.61
Inconclusion assuming the required return is 12 percent, the stock price today is $40.61.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Answer:
3. How does the action I am proposing to take make me feel about myself?
Explanation:
According to Norman Vincent Peale, the following questions should be asked by Jake as he proceeds to make an ethical decision: How does the action I am proposing to take make me feel about myself?
According to Kenneth Blanchard and Norman Vincent Peale, authors of The Power of Ethical Management, there are three questions you should ask yourself whenever you are faced with an ethical dilemma:
1. Is it legal? Will I be violating civil law or company policy? Will I be violating the student code of conduct?
2. Is it balanced? Is it fair to all parties concerned both in the short-term as well as the longterm? Does it promote win-win relationships?
<u>3. How will it make me feel about myself? Will it make me proud? Would I feel good if my decision was published in the newspaper? Would I feel good if my family knew about it?
</u>
A trial court hears witnesses testify and examines other information presented to prove the alleged facts and render a legal decision. An appellate court is concerned with the application of law in the decision of a lower court and may affirm, reverse, amend, or remand the decision of a lower court.
