a) Microtech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Microtech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $0.50 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 47% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 7% per year. If the required return on Microtech is 17%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
b) Warr Corporation just paid a dividend of $1 a share (that is, D0 = $1). The dividend is expected to grow 8% a year for the next 3 years and then at 3% a year thereafter. What is the expected dividend per share for each of the next 5 years? Round your answers to two decimal places.
D1 = $
D2 = $
D3 = $
D4 = $
D5 = $
