The one-year forward rate that an investor would be indifferent between the U.S. and Japanese investments will be:
= Spot rate × (1 + Japanese rate / 1 + U.S rate)
= 101 × (1 + 1% / 1 + 4.1%)

= 101 × (1.01/1.041)
= 101 × 0.9702209

Answer:
$10.82%
Explanation:
The computation of stock value is shown below:-
First we need to find out the expected dividend for computing the stock value
So, Expected dividend = $1.42 × (1 + 1.3%)
= $1.44
Now, Stock value = Expected dividend ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)
= $1.44 ÷ (14.6% - 1.3%)
= $1.44 ÷ 13.3%
= $10.82%
So, for computing the stock value we simply applied the above formula.
