a$.$ Find the expected dividend for each of the next $3$ years; that is$,$ calculate $D_1,D_2$ and $D_3.$ Note that $D_0=$$$1\mathrm{.}50.$ Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

$D_1=$$

$D_2=$$

$D_3=$$

$

d$.$ If you plan to buy the stock, hold it for $3$ years, and then sell it for $$102\mathrm{.}04,$ what is the most you should pay for it today? Do not round internediate calculations, Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$

e$.$ Use equation below to calculate the present value of this stock.

widehat$(P{)}_0=\frac{D_i(1+g)}{r_8-g}=\frac{D_1}{r_3-g}$

Assume that $g=8\%$ and

Assume that $g=8\%$ and that it is constant. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$

f$.$ Is the value of this stock dependent upon how long you plan to hold it$?$ In other words, if your planned holding period was $2$ years or $5$ years rather than $3$ years, would this affect the value of the stock today, hat$(P{)}_0?$

I. Yes. The value of the stock is dependent upon the holding period due to the fact that the value is determined as the present value of all future expected dividends.

II$.$ No$.$ The value of the stock is not dependent upon the holding period unless the growth rate remains constant for the foreseeable future.

III. Yes. The value of the stock is dependent upon the holding period as long as the growth rate remains constant for the foreseeable future.
