Answer:

(A) 20.54

(B) 24.46

(C) 30.88

Explanation:

(A) The current stock price can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)/0.08

=1.643/0.08

= 20.54

(B) The stock price after 3 years can be calculated as follows

Po = 1.55(1+6/100)^4/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^4/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^4/0.08

= 1.55(1.2624)/0.08

= 1.9567/0.08

= 24.46

(C) The stock price after 7 years can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)^8/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^8/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^8/(0.08)

= 1.55(1.5938)/0.08

= 2.470/0.08

= 30.88
