Yоur mоdel predicting mоnthly_spend hаs RMSE = 18.7 (dollаrs). Which of the following provides the best interpretаtion?

AMD expects eаrnings аt the end оf this yeаr оf $8 per share (i.e., EPS1), and it plans tо pay a $4 dividend to shareholders one year from now (i.e., DIV1). AMD will retain $4 per share of its earnings to reinvest in new projects that have an expected return of 10% per year (i.e., the return on new investment is 10%). Suppose AMD will maintain the same dividend payout rate, retention rate, and return on new investments in the future and will not change its number of outstanding shares.   a.    What dividends (or earnings) growth rate would you forecast for AMD (i.e., calculate g)? (2 points) b.    If AMD's equity cost of capital (i.e., r) is 12%, what price would you estimate for AMD stock today (i.e., P0)? Use the growth rate computed in part a. (3 points) c.    Suppose instead that AMD paid a dividend of $6 per share at the end of this year (i.e., DIV1) and retained only $2 per share in earnings. That is, it chose to pay a higher dividend instead of reinvesting in as many new projects. If AMD maintains this higher payout rate in the future, what stock price would you estimate for the firm now (i.e., P0)? Should AMD raise its dividend? (5 points)
