Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) What we need is a pricing model that is more inclusive than the dividend model in that it can estimate expected returns for stocks without the need for a stable dividend history. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is more inclusive and provides expected returns for companies based on (1) their risk, (2) the premium for taking on risk, and (3) the reward for waiting, and not on their historical dividend patterns.
