Explanation / Answer

9.) Option E. - When securities are sold for the first time, they are always sold in the primary market.

10.) Dividend Yield = Dividend / Price = 0.028

Dividend / 27.80 = 0.028

Dividend = 27.80 x 0.028 = 0.7784

Option B) $0.78

11.) Required Rate of Return (r) = 15.7%

Dividend Growth Rate (g) = 2.1%

Last Dividend (D0) = $1.62 per share

Dividend after one year (D1) = D0 (1 + g) = 1.62 (1.021) = $1.654 per share.

Using Gordon Growth Model,

Price = D1 / (k - g) = 1.654 / (.157 - .021) = 1.654 / .136 = $12.16

Option C.) $12.16
