Answer:

The intrinsic value of A -$44.57 is higher than that of B- $ 29.71

Explanation:

The intrinsic value is the present value of he expected future dividend discounted at he required rate of return.

So, we would work out the intrinsic value of the two stocks using the the formula below:

Intrinsic value  = D× (1+r)/(k-g)

Intrinsic value of stock A

D-3, r-11%, g-4%

= 3 ×(1.04)/(0.11-0.04)

=$44.57

Intrinsic value of stock B

D-2, r-11%, g-4%

= 2 ×(1.04)/(0.11-0.04)

= $29.71
