Sixth year =$5.16

Explanation:

As dividend is the share of earning distributed to the stockholders. The stockholders expects a good return from the company against their interst in the company. Company make a dividend policy and calculates the growth of dividend accordingly.  

Dividend Paid = $2.12

Company expected 20% growth in next two years so,

Dividend First year = $2.12 x 120% = $2.544

Dividend Second year = $2.544 x 120% = $3.053

Dividend of following three years will grow at 14%

Dividend Third year = $3.053 x 114% = $3.48

Dividend Fourth year = $3.48 x 114% = $3.97

Dividend Fifth year = $3.97 x 114% = $4.53

After this it will grow 8% indefinitely

Dividend Sixth year = $4.53 x 114% = $5.16

D6 = $4.885/4.89

Explanation:

Given D0 =$2.12

Three stage growth = 20% for two years, 14% for three years, 8% indefinitely

Calculate D6

First stage 20%

D1 =D0*g =2.12*1.20 =$2.544

D2 =D1*g=2.544*1.20 =$3.053

Second stage 14%

D3 =D2 *g =3.053*1.14 = $3.480

D4= D3*1.14= 3.480*1.14 = $3.968

D5= D4*g =3.968*1.14 = $4.523

Stable growth stage

D6 = D5*g = 4.523*1.08 =$4.885

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.

d. all of the above are true.
