Answer :

Answer:

The company's current stock price is $ 18.62.

Explanation:

To calculate the company's current stock price we have to use first the following formula to calculate the: Expected Return of stock

Expected Return of stock = Risk Free Rate+ Beta * Market Risk Premium  

Expected Return of stock= 4+1.15*5      

=4+5.75      

Expected Return = 9.75%      

Then, we can calculate the stock price with the following formula:

Price = Dividendat year 1/ Return- Growth    

D1 =0.75*105.5%    

=0.79125      

Price =0.79/( 0.0975-0.055)      

=18.62      

The price is $ 18.62
