Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) 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  PVF) + (dividend stream  PVAF)
= (30  0.620921) + (6  3.790787) = 18.628 + 22.745 = 41.372 or about 41.37.
