Answer:

current price of stock = $40

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

expected dividend = $4.00

required return = 15% = 0.15

growth rate = 5% = 0.05

to find out

current price of stock

solution

we get here current price of stock that is express as

current price of stock =
(D)/(r-g) ....................1

here r is required return and g is growth rate and D is expected dividend

put here value in equation 1 we get

current price of stock =
(4)/(0.15-0.05)

current price of stock = $40
