Final answer:

The value of the stock is $100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the stock, we need to calculate the present value of all the future dividends. Since the dividend is expected to increase by 8% every year, we can use the formula for the present value of a growing perpetuity.

The formula is:

PV = D / (r - g)

Where PV is the present value, D is the dividend, r is the required rate of return, and g is the growth rate.

In this case, the dividend is $3, the required rate of return is 11%, and the growth rate is 8%.

Plugging in the values, we get:

PV = 3 / (0.11 - 0.08) = 3 / 0.03 = $100

Therefore, the value of the stock is $100.
