Omni Telecom is trying to decide whether to increase its cash dividend immediately or use the funds to increase its future growth rate.

$P_0=\frac{D_1}{K_e-g}$

$P_0=$ Price of the stock today

$D_1=$ Dividend at the end of the first year

$D_1=D_0(1+g)$

$D_0=$ Dividend today

$K_e=$ Required rate of return

$g=$ Constant growth rate in dividends

$D_0$ is currently $$2\mathrm{.}90,K_e$ is $9$ percent, and $g$ is $6$ percent.

Under Plan A$,D_0$ would be immediately increased to $$3\mathrm{.}30$ and ${}_e$ and $g$ will remain unchanged.

Under Plan $B,D_0$ will remain at $$2\mathrm{.}90$ but $g$ will go up to $7$ percent and $K_e$ will remain unchanged.

a$.$ Compute $P_0($price of the stock today$)$ under Plan $A.$ Note $D_1$ will be equal to $D_0(1+g)$ or $$3\mathrm{.}30(1\mathrm{.}06).K_e$ will equal $9$ percent, and $g$ will equal $6$ percent. $($Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to $2$ decimal places.$)$

Stock price for Plan A

b$.$ Compute $P_0($price of the stock today$)$ under Plan B$.$ Note $D_1$ will be equal to $D_0(1+g)$ or $$2\mathrm{.}90(1\mathrm{.}07).K_e$ will be equal to $9$ percent, and $g$ will be equal to $7$ percent. $($Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to $2$ decimal places.$)$
