Use this stock price as well as dividend information to calculate the TSR. The return must be based on a 12-month year.

Using the total market capitalization recorded in the Key Statistics area located to the left of your screen under Company (suppose $29 billion) and the capital investment by debt as well as equity as of May 31, 2007 (see financial statements listed in part 1 above) compute the MVA.
