Answer:

$69.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the current share price?

First step is to determine the price of the stock in year 9

P9=$14/(.115− .039)

P9=$14/0.076

P9=$184

Now let determine the Current price

P0=184.00/(1+.115)^9

P0=184.00/1.115^9

P0=184.00/2.6636

P0=$69.08

Therefore the current price is $69.08
