1. We observe a firm that just paid a quarterly dividend of $0.62. What should be the price of this stock if the required rate of return is 16% APR compounded quarterly, and the analyst believes the ROE and retention ratio will remain constant at 24% and 45%, respectively?

2. Many textbooks indicate that the value of a share of common stock can be thought of as it's "zero-growth" value plus the Net Present Value of all future growth opportunities:

P = d 1 r + N P V o f f u t u r e i n v e s t m e n t s p e r s h a r e

The term "NPV" represents the present value of positive cash flows that accrue to shareholders from these future investments less the present value of the cost of the investments. This equation is not exactly written like this in our notes, but given this form, it indicates that shareholders expect firm managers to take what actions on their behalf:
