Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now?

This will be calculated as:

= P0 × (1 + g)

where,

P0 = $40

g = growth rate = 7%

= P0 × (1 + g)

= 40 × (1 + 7%)

= 40 × (1 + 0.07)

= 40 × 1.07

= $42.80

b. What is the required rate of return?

This will be:

= (D1 / P0) + g

where D1 = D0 × (1+g) = 1.75 × (1+0.07) = 1.75 × 1.07 = 1.8725

= (D1 / P0) + g

= (1.8725 / 40) + 0.07

= 0.1168

= 11.68%
