    a. $125

    b. $80

    c. $45

    Explanation:

    a. If the market expects a 10% rate of return on Trend-Line, at what price must it be selling? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

    Current selling price = Next dividend / (Rate of return - Growth rate) = $5 / (10% - 6%) = $125.

    b. If Trend-Line's earnings per share will be $8 next year, what part of its value is due to assets in place? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

    The value due to assets in place = Next year earning per share / Market rate of return = $8/10% = $80.

    c. If Trend-Line's earnings per share will be $8 next year, what part of its value is due to growth opportunities? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

    The value due to growth opportunities = Current selling price - The value due to assets in place = $125 - $80 = $45.
