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

North Around, Inc. stock is expected to return 22 percent in a boom, 13 percent in a normal economy, and −15 percent in a recess
almond37 [142]

Answer:

4.53%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Expected return = ∑ (Return × probability)

Thus,

Expected return = (0.06 × 22) + (0.92 × 13) + (0.02 × (-15))

= 12.98%

Now,

Probability       Return        Probability × (Return-Expected Return)²

0.06                  22                   0.06 × (22% - 12.98%)² = 4.8816

0.92                  13                    0.92 × (13% - 12.98%)² = 0.000368

0.02                  -15                   0.02 × (-15% - 12.98%)² = 5.657608

========================================================

                                                                            Total = 20.5396%

Standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{\text{Total probability}\times(\text{Return-Expected Return})^2}{\text{Total probability}}

= √(20.5396)

= 4.53%
