1) IBIS Corporation has had dividends grow from $2.50 per share to $6.00 per share over the last 10 years (the $6.00 per share dividend was paid yesterday; that is, D0 = $6.00). This compounded annual growth rate in dividends is expected to continue into the future forever. If the current market price of IBIS’s stock is $45.00 per share, what rate of return do investors expect to receive from buying IBIS stock?

2)Malcolm Manufacturing, Inc. just paid a $2.00 annual dividend (that is, D0 = 2.00). There will be no dividend payment for the next two years (i.e., at t = 1 and t = 2). In year three (t = 3), the dividend is expected to be $5.00. The dividend will then grow at 10% annually for the next 3 years (i.e., at t = 4, t = 5 and t = 6) and thereafter (i.e., beginning at t = 7) dividends will grow at a rate of 3% annually forever. Assuming a required return of 14%, what is the current price of the stock?
