| a. |
$42.83. |

|
| c. |
$58.31. |

1)Dividend Yield = Current Year Dividend/Current Market Price = 0.75/25 = 3%
Growth rate = (26.75 - 25)/25 = 7%
Current Market Price by end of year = Future Dividend / ( equity cost of capital - growth)
=> 26.75 = 0.75*1.07/(cost of capital - 0.07)
=> Cost of capital = 10%
So the answer is option c
2)D0 = $3.00
D4 = 3.00(1.08)4 = $4.08
Stock Price in Year 3 = D4/(r - g)
Stock Price in year 3 = 4.08/(0.15 - 0.08)
Stock Price in Year 3 = $58.31
