1. Obtain the forecasted future annual earnings per share for your company by entering your company's ticker symbol in the "Find a Symbol" box in the upper middle of the website.

https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/wmt/earnings and determine the market p/e ratio for your company. 

2. Obtain the average P/e ratio for all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 (the major stock market index) from https://www.wsj.com/market-data/stocks/peyields and explain (in the context of the two fundamental determinants of P/e ratios) why the individual stock p/e ratio for your company (obtained in #1) is higher or lower than the overall stock market index P/e ratio.

3. Compute the present value of all future expected dividends on your stock if the consensus forecast of the market of all investors changed so that the long-term future growth in earnings for your company becomes the same as that for the average stock in the S&P500 index and the systematic risk of your stock changed to that of average stock.

4. If an investor believes that your stock will have an unchanged dividend for the next 5 years and then the present value of all dividends expected after 5 years (i.e., the price in 5 years) will be equal to the current market price today, show whether the investor would think the current stock price is higher or lower than its value appraised with those expected cash flows (i.e., whether it is underpriced or overpriced based on the assumptions listed here).

5. Compute the value of preferred stock with an annual dividend of $7 per share if the required return on the stock is 4.50%.
