Answer:

First we need to use the ddm model when the growth rate is constant and find the price then,because the ddm model cannot be used when the growth rate  is not constant and then discount it back to present value at 12% which is the required return.

Last dividend = $4

Dividend one year from now = 4*1.015=4.06

Dividend 2 years from now = 4.06*1.015=4.12

Growth rate 2 years from now = 8%

R= 12%

Price = D*(1+G)/(R-G)

=4.12*(1+1.08)/(0.12-0.08)=4.45/0.04= 111.26

Price of stock 2 years from now $111.26, now we need to discount it to the present value. 111.26/1.12^2=88.69

Best estimate = b. $89.87

I would say that Cesar made a stereotypical assumption about a teenage driver based not on the facts but on a stereotypical characterization of a person with such an age as a teenager so this is shooting from the hip and could be quite wrong ie the teenager could actually be a careful driver but perhaps timid or nevous if a new driver and that could make him/her look reckless.
