Answer :
Answer: Price of stock = $23.57
Explanation:
Given that,
Expected to pay an annual dividend next year([tex]Div_{1}[/tex]) = $3.10 a share
Dividends are expected to increase by 1.85 percent annually
Required rate of return(r) = 15 percent
According to the constant growth dividend discount model,
[tex]P_{0} = \frac{Div_{1}}{r - g}[/tex]
Where,
[tex]P_{0}[/tex] - Price of stock
g - Growth rate
[tex]P_{0} = \frac{3.10}{0.15 - 0.0185}[/tex]
= $23.57
