( for parts b,c, and d in this problem all variables remain the same except the one specially changed. Each equation in independent of the others.
b. assume ke, the required rate of return, goes up to 12%; that will be the new value of P0?
c. assume the growth rate (g) goes up to 7 %; what will be the new value of P0?
d. assume D1 is $2, what will be the new value of P0?
