Explanation / Answer

According to the given information, Dividend in year-1 = $2 per share Dividend in year-2 = $3 per share Dividend in year-3 = $5 per share Constant growth rate = 10% Required rate of return = 15% Calculating the current price of the stock: First we have to calculate the price of the stock in year-3: P3 = D4 / (R - g)      = D3 (1+g) / (R-g)      = $5 (1+0.10) / (0.15 - 0.10)      = $5.5 / 0.05      = $110 Therefore, the price of the stock is $110 The correct option is b) $110
