I have been doing this homework for hours and i am so frustrated I want to cry. Please help me!

Growth Rates

The stock price of Retro Co. is $76. Investors require a 14 percent rate of return on similar stocks. If the company plans to pay a dividend of $5.00 next year, the expected growth rate of the company's stock price is ______ percent.

Nonconstant Dividends


Hetfield and Ulrich, Inc., has an odd dividend policy. The company has just paid a dividend of $13 per share and has announced that it will increase the dividend by $6 per share for each of the next 3 years, and then never pay another dividend. If you require a 15 percent return on the company's stock, you will pay $______ per share today
 
Someone tell me how many times I have said this!

You simply MUST learn to build expressions from Basic Principles. Note the word "MUST". Isn't there a book ANYWHERE that says this? Maybe students don't believe it.

Note to holdog: I don't blame you. It's an educator problem.

i = 0.14

Annual Accumulation Factor = r = 1+i = 1.14

($76.00 * r) - $5.00 = $81.64

Now what?
