The Gordon (constant-growth) dividend-discount model applies: P0 = D1 / (r − g).

Part (a) — price implied by your growth estimate:
If the $1.88 figure is treated as the most recent dividend (D0), then next year’s dividend is D1 = D0(1 + g).
- Compute D1: D1 = 1.88 × (1 + 0.0556) = 1.88 × 1.0556 = 1.984528.
- Denominator: r − g = 0.0997 − 0.0556 = 0.0441.
- Price: P0 = D1 / (r − g) = 1.984528 / 0.0441 = 45.0006 → $45.00 (rounded to nearest cent).

Note: If one instead treated $1.88 as D1 directly, P0 would be 1.88 / (0.0997 − 0.0556) = 1.88 / 0.0441 ≈ $42.65. The answer given ($45.00) corresponds to using 1.88 as D0 and computing D1 = 1.88(1+g).

Part (b) — implied growth given the market price:
Using the standard model with D1 = $1.88 (the dividend in one year) and P0 = $64.46, solve for g from P0 = D1 / (r − g) → r − g = D1 / P0 → g = r − D1 / P0.
- Compute D1/P0: 1.88 / 64.46 = 0.029163 (approx).
- Compute g: g = 0.0997 − 0.029163 = 0.070537 ≈ 0.0705 → 7.05% (rounded to two decimals).

Why these are correct:
- The Gordon model directly links next year’s dividend, the required return, and perpetual growth to current price. Applying the model with D1 derived from D0 gives the $45.00 in part (a). Using the given market price and D1 = $1.88 yields the implied growth of 7.05% in part (b).

Conclusion: The calculated values match the provided answers: Price = $45.00 and implied growth ≈ 7.05%.
