Answer:

C. $24.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine what the value of the stock is closest to:

Value of the stock =($1.25 / 1.11) + [1.56/ (0.11 -0.05)] / 1.11

Value of the stock =[1.126126+(1.56/0.06)]/1.11

Value of the stock = $24.55.

Therefore the value of the stock is closest to:$24.55
