Assuming the required return is 12 percent, the stock price today is $40.61.
Given:
Dividend=$2.58 per share
Increase in Dividend=20% and 15%
Number of year=2 years
Increase in Annual Dividend=3.6%
Required return=12%
P2=Stock price today
Now let calculate the stock price today
P2 = [$2.58(1+0.20)]/(1+.12) + [$2.58(1+.20)(1+.15)]/(1+.12)^2 + {[$2.58(1+.20)(1+.15)(1+.036)]/(0.12 − 0.036)}/(1+.12)^2
P2 = [$2.58(1.20)]/1.12 + [$2.58(1.20)(1.15)]/1.12^2 + {[$2.58(1.20)(1.15)(1.036)]/(0.12 − 0.036)}/1.12^2
P2=($3.096/1.12)+ ($3.5604/1.2544)+ [($3.68857/0.084)/1.2544]
P2=$2.7643+$2.838329+($43.91155/1.2544)
P2=$2.7643+$2.838329+$35.0060
P2=$40.61
Inconclusion assuming the required return is 12 percent, the stock price today is $40.61.

Insurance is a social and merit good as it makes financially risk averse people better off. It can help protect a business or a person from financial loss, liabilities or instability in the case of an owner or business partner's death. The benefit is administered by a central organization such as a government agency, private business, or not-for-profit entity.
Answer: 6%
Explanation:
The annual payments can be considered to be annuity payments as they are constant. The amount borrowed can be considered the present value of the annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, %?
178,960 = 28,819 * Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 178,960 / 28,819
= 6.20979
To find out the interest rate, look at the Present Value of Annuity table and go to the 8 period column. Look for 6.20979. The interest rate that intersects with this factor is the interest rate implicit in this agreement.
That rate is 6%.
Answer: In the second statement
Explanation: Supply and demand are two market forces which determines the price of a commodity. In simple words, the amount of commodity that the consumers are willing to buy at a given price is called demand and the producer are willing to sell is called supply.
