The members of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) must follow their Model Rule which prohibits investment adviser firms from guaranteeing investment results, in other words they cannot guarantee a minimum profit.

Answer:
P0 = $66.6429 rounded off to $66.64
Option c is the correct answer
Explanation:
Using the two stage growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula to calculate the price of the stock today is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n + [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
- g1 is the initial growth rate
- g2 is the constant growth rate
- r is the required rate of return
P0 = 2* (1+0.2) / (1+0.1) + 2 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.1)^2 + 2 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.1)^3
+ 2 * (1+0.2)^4 / (1+0.1)^4 + 2 * (1+0.2)^5 / (1+0.1)^5 +
[(2 * (1+0.2)^5 * (1+0.04) / (0.1 - 0.04)) / (1+0.1)^5]
P0 = $66.6429 rounded off to $66.64
