The correct discipline is business analytic

Find the most recent dividend for AT&T and Microsoft.
Find their history of dividends to determine the average annual growth rate in dividends over the last 10 years.
Using the constant dividend growth model, find the required rate of return using their current price. (Make sure you adjust quarterly to annual dividends before putting in the constant dividend growth model).
Comment on your findings. Do they make sense? What should you do based on your calculations assuming they are correct?

You already have my and my group logbook from a previous group logbook assignment we have done with you (Eco-scan app). I’m not sure if its relates to this or is a completely different assignment. But just letting u know.

Part I: The Simulation
Begin in the YEAR 1 row. Roll a 6-sided die, or use a random number generator limited from 1 to 6 (here: Roll a Die, here: Random, or elsewhere)
As you go through the steps in YEAR 1, record the values you are working with under the TRACKING section toward the bottom of the spreadsheet. For example:
Start in YEAR 1, Step 1. Let’s say you roll the die and get a 3. That means you have $20,000 in cash saved for a down payment for a house. Record that value in the TRACKING area, next to the row recording “YEAR 1” under the “Total Cash (savings)” column.
Then go to Step 2, and roll the die to find the average market value (the cost of the house you will try to purchase), and then write that value in the TRACKING area under step 2. So, if you rolled a 4 this time, you’d type “$400,000” into the Step 2 box in TRACKING, still in YEAR 1.
Go on from there and do the same thing in each column until you get to a choice where you choose (or are forced) to return to the beginning “HOUSE HUNTING,” except this time you follow the rows that say “YEAR 2+” and do what they instruct you. Each time you start your house hunting over again, you go back to YEAR 2+ and follow those directions. You start with the cash you already have, roll the die and, for example, you get roll a 2 this time. This means you would ADD that 2 value ($10,000) to the original Step 1 cash value you had (for example, $20,000) and you’d write that total ($30,000) in the YEAR 2 row in the TRACKING area.
Proceed from step to step until you manage to buy a home. You must have enough cash savings to pay for the down payment and closing costs, as well as any repair bills from the Home Inspection Report (covering the total purchase cost) or you have to start HOUSE HUNTING over again (in the next year). You must also have enough monthly income to cover the mortgage costs, or the sale will also fall through and you’ll have to start again.
Part II: The Analysis
Once you’ve run through the home-buying process a few times and managed to actually buy a home, write the story of your experience. What helped? What setbacks did you face? What freak problems appeared?
Follow up by analyzing this process more generally in a second paragraph, addressing other things you noticed. What surprised you? Was it difficult to get through to actually buy the home? What did you learn about homebuying from this? What’s your plan for purchasing a home? Do you have to buy a home?

In your response to two peers, address the following:
What are some similarities and differences between your strategies both internally and externally?
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for improving their feedback loops?
See Original post Order ID 570777376
Respond to peer separately in one paragraph each.

Please download the attached Excel file, complete it according to the instructions, rename it using your last_name and HWCh4 (example: MaskaraHWCh4.xls) and then resubmit it as your homework solution.
Questions 1 through 4 require you to type in the Excel built-in formulas to calculate the answer for each problem. Examples of the Excel formulas are included in the PDF of the video lectures for TVM-Future Value and TVM-Present Value. The Excel formulas must be entered into the Excel cells highlighted in light blue. The formula must reference a cell. You cannot hardcode numbers. If you do not understand what hardcode means, watch the recording of the zoom lecture from this week before doing this assignment.
Question 5 is primarily an Excel functionality exercise. Complete the missing items in the table that are highlighted in light blue. The purpose of this exercise is to illustrate how to use the Excel built-in TVM functions and also how to calculate the same results using the equivalent algebraic formula. The exercise can be completed in a few seconds (Yes, seconds, not minutes) by appropriately copying the formulas from the portions of the table already filled in. If you are not familiar with Excel try to learn how to copy/paste formulas from cells and what ‘absolute cell reference’ and ‘relative cell reference’ mean.
