b. $14.01
c. $14.56
d. $13.79
e. $13.28

Respuesta :

Answer: a. $13.89

Explanation:

The relevant model/ formula to use is the Gordon Growth model which is;

Value of stock = Next dividend / (required return - growth rate)

The dividend is constant so the growth rate is 0%.

Required return will be the discount rate.

Value of stock = 2.25 / ( 16.2% - 0%)

= $13.89
