Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $30.23.
Explanation:
The total return on a stock is made up of dividend received on the stock plus the capital gain received from selling the stock. The holding period is one year that means a 10% return on the amount invested in required for one year. We need to calculate the present value of the total of selling price plus the dividend to calculate the price of the stock today. As 10% return is required, the discount rate is also 10%.
PV = (1.25 + 32) / 1.1
PV = 30.227 rounded off to 30.23

Answer:
The quantity is likely to decrease, the change in price depends on the extent of change in demand and supply.
Explanation:
The fear of the mad cow disease lead to a reduction in the demand for beef. This caused the demand curve to move to the left.
At the same time, destruction of cattle heads ordered by the government lead to a reduction in the supply of beef. This caused the supply curve to move to the left.
This leftward shift in both demand as well as supply curve will lead to a reduction in the equilibrium quantity of beef.
The change in price of beef depends upon the extent of change in demand and supply. If both decrease by the same extent, the price will remain the same.
