1. OPI, Inc., is offering its common stock to the public for the first time ever. You believe that each share of OPIs common stock will pay a $2.50 per share dividend semiannually for the next ten years. After the tenth year, you expect the semiannual dividends will grow at an APR of 2%, compounded semiannually, forever.

0	1/2	1	1-1/2	2		9-1/2	10	10-1/2	11
	$2.500	$2.500	$2.500	$2.500		$2.500	$2.500	$2.50 x 1.01	$2.50 x 1.01A2	etc.

d.What rate of return, expressed as an APR, would you earn if you purchased a share of OPIs stock at t = 0 for the price you determined in part b, collected all of the expected dividends and then sold the share at the end of the tenth year for the price determined in part c?
