Answer:

20.83%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

Dividend = $2.50

Required rate of return = 12%

The computation of the current price of the stock is shown below:-

The current price of stock = Dividend ÷ Required rate of return

= $2.50 ÷ 12%

= 20.83%

So, for computing the current price of the stock we simply divide the dividend by required rate
