Explanation / Answer

1.

what is the value of the stock=(0.72+59)/(1+7%)=55.81

yes buy the stock now as it is selling at less than its value of 55.81

2.

what is the fair price of the stock=(3*1.05)/(11%-5%)=52.50

3.

what is the fair value=2/1.10^1+2.50/1.10^2+3/1.10^4+75/1.10^4=57.16

as value is lower than price of 65, do not buy
