Answer:

$69.87

Step-by-step explanation:

The price i would be willing to pay for the stock can be determined by finding the present value of the dividend payments

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = 3.1

Cash flow in year 2 = 3.38

Cash flow in year 3 = 3.70

Cash flow in year 4 = 4.02

Cash flow in year 5 = 4.38 + 95 = 99.38

I = 11%

Present value = $69.87

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
