Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Keep in mind that the future price in 15 years is zero so that any discounted value is also zero. Thus, we are only concerned with the present value of the annuity from the 2.10 dividend. For this annuity, with r = 10 and n = 15, we get PVIFA = 7.60608, giving the present value of a share = P= 2.10  7.60608 = 15.973 or about 15.97.
MODE = END
INPUT 15 10 ? -2.1 0
KEY N I/Y PV PMT FV
CPT 15.97

Answer to Question 2

C
