Omni Telecom is trying to decide whether to increase its cash dividend or use the funds to increase its future growth rate. It will use the dividend valuation model for purposes of analysis. The current values are the following:

D₀ = $1.50; K_e = 10%; g = 4%

Under Plan A, the dividend (D₁) will be increased to $1.80 with K_e and g unchanged.

Under Plan B, the dividend (D₁) will remain at $1.50, K_e will remain unchanged, but g will increase to 6%.

a. Compute the current price under Plan A. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

b. Compute the current price under Plan B. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.)
