Answer:
The stock price is $33.26
Explanation:
<u>Dividend of the year</u>
D1 = 1.85 * 1.24
D1 = 2.294
D2 = 2.294 * 1.18
D2 = 2.70692
D3 = 2.70692 * 1.12
D3 = 3.0317504
D4 = 3.0317504 * 1.06
D4 = 3.213655424
Price at year 4 = 2.70692 * 1.12 * 1.06^2/(14%-6%)
Price at year 4 = 42.58093437
Current price = 2.294/1.14 + 2.70692/1.14^2 + 2.70692*1.12/1.14^3 + 2.70692*1.12*1.06/1.14^4 + 42.58093437/1.14^4
Current Price = $33.26
So, the stock price is $ 33.26
