1. Research past dividend history for the following companies (both of which trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange) and based on your analysis, project what the future dividends and dividend growth might be. (Yes this will be a guess, and probably a rough one at that). Assume that the appropriate discount rate (r that we used in class) is 6%. Calculate what you believe the stock price of each company should be using the Dividend Discount Model. Explain any discrepancies between your calculated stock price and the current stock price of the company.
   1. Empire Company
   2. Linamar
2. Use the comparables method to calculate what the stock price should be for both Empire Company and Linamar.
3. Construct a live Excel sheet that takes as inputs:

1. The time to maturity of a bond
2. The yield to maturity of a bond
3. The coupon rate of a bond

Your output will be the price of the bond. Assume that the bond pays semi-annual coupons.
