Explanation / Answer

As per chegg guidelines when there are more than one question then we have to answer first question. 1)Calculation of price of Red Inc: D1= $2.86 Growth= 5% Required return= 8% Price= D1/(required return-growth)           = 2.86/(0.08-0.05)= 2.86/0.03= $95.33 Price of Red Inc is $95.33 Calculation of price of Yellow Corp: D1= $2.86 Growth= 5% Required return= 11% Price= D1/(required return-growth)           = 2.86/(0.11-0.05)= 2.86/0.06= $47.67 Price of Yellow Corp is $47.67 Calculation of price of Blue Company: D1= $2.86 Growth= 5% Required return= 14% Price= D1/(required return-growth)           = 2.86/(0.14-0.05)= 2.86/0.09= $31.78 Price of Blue Company is $31.78 As the required return increases, the price of stock decreases. Wheeas when the required return decreases, then the price of stock increases. So stock price and required return has inverse relation
