Explanation / Answer

Im going by the factors mentioned above, 20.00 dividend in year 20, 5.8% required rate of return

Current Stock price = Expected dividend in year 20 / Required rate of return

20.00 / 0.05800= 344. 82759 ( not rounded)

344.82759 / ( 1.05800)>19th year = 344.82759 / 2.91896 = 118.13
