They are certainly worded in a confusing way. Let's take them from the top:
#1. Stock price = 65.88, with expected dividends of $1/share for next 5 years. If the required return is 10% per year for next 5 years, then we would essentially annuities the amount of the price of the share, less the dividend to get to the required stock price (and this assumes no tax consequences).
Therefore, for year 1, 65.88 x 1.10% = 72.47 less $1 dividend = 71.47
Year 2, 71.47 x 1.1% = 78.62 less $1 dividend = 77.62
Year 3, 77.62 x 1.1 =85.38 less $1 dividend = 84.38
Year 4, 84.38 x 1.1 = 92.82 less $1 dividend = 91.82
Year 5, 91.82 x 1.1 - 101.00 less $1 dividend = $100.00
This assumes compounding of 10% return to offset the reduction in value of the dollar over the 5 year period, but DOES NOT factor in the tax consequences (which could reduce the actual return by the rate of tax paid on the gain).
I don't really understand the second part of this question --- if dividend and required return are the same, theoretically the price of the stock would remain the same, adjusted for inflation and time value of money over the next 5 years, because the required return would be covered by the dividend, making this essentially a risk free investment of sorts.
#2. Again, this wording is a bit confusing. ...
