Answer #1

Given about a common stock

annual dividend = $8.08

So, D1 = D2 = $8.08

Price of stock at year 2 P2 = $100

average annual return = 16%

So, stock price today P0 = D1/(1+r) + D2/(1+r)^2 + P2/(1+r)^2

So, P0 = 8.08/1.16 + 8.08/1.16^2 + 100/1.16^2

P0 = $87.30

So, approximately stock was purchased at $88 2 year ago.
