Answer:

$42.604

Explanation:

Using dividend growth model we have D1 = $1.25, dividend at end of year 1

P1 = $45 price at the end of year 1

Ke = 10% Cost of capital or expected return

g = ? the growth rate expected

Thus

D2 = D1 + g

$45 = [tex]\frac{1.25+g}{0.10-g}[/tex]

$4.5 - 45g = 1.25 + g

$3.25 = 46g

7.06% = g

Now, using value of g we have

P0 = [tex]\frac{1.25}{0.10-0.0706}[/tex]

Current price P0 = $42.604
