Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The fair price is the present value of the selling price plus the present value of the dividend stream. Thus, today's price (P) = (future price  PVIF) + (dividend stream  PVIFA)
= (22.50  0.493270) + (3.5  4.053838) = 11.099 + 14.188 = 25.287, or about 25.29.
MODE = END
INPUT 6 12.5 ? -3.5 -22.5
