Two stocks each currently pay a dividend of $$1\mathrm{.}90$ per share. It is anticipated that both firms$$ dividends will grow annually at the rate of $4$ percent. Firm A has a beta coefficient of $1\mathrm{.}1$ while the beta coefficient of firm B is $1\mathrm{.}24.$

If U$.$S$.$ Treasury bills currently yield $4$ percent and you expect the market to increase at an annual rate of $8\mathrm{.}3$ percent, what are the valuations of these two stocks using the dividend$-$growth model? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Stock A: $

Stock B: $
