Answer:

The answer is $56.68

Explanation:

Solution

We recall that:

The firm paid a dividend of =$7.80

The projected growth of dividends is at a rate = 9.0%

The annual return = 24.0%

Now,

V = ($7.80 * (1.09)/(.24 - 0.9)

= (8.502)/(.24-0.9)

= (8.502) * (-0.66)

= $56.68

Therefore, this would be the most we would pay for the stock. If we paid less than that, our return would be above the 24%.
