Investment Club.

An investment club bought a bond of an oil corporation for $5000. The bond yields 8% per year. The club now wants to buy shares of stock in a hospital supply company. The stock sells at $20 per share and earns a dividend of $0.50 per share per year. How many shares should the club buy so that its total investments in stocks and bonds yield 5% per year?

The stock has a beta of 1.2, the risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 5%. What is the stock’s expected price seven years from today?
