Urgent please help
The dividend-growth model may be used to value a stock:
Do(1+9)
V =
k - g
Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Do = $3.10
k = 12%
9 = 8%
b. What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $4.30 and the other variables remain constant?
$
c. What is the value of this stock if the required return declines to 9 percent and the other variables remain constant?
d. What is the value of this stock if the growth rate declines to 5 percent and the other variables remain constant?
e. What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $3.70, the growth rate declines to 5 percent, and the required return remains 12 percent?
