Answer:

The answer is $36.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Dividend on stock = $7.40

n = 8 years

Required return on the stock =12%

Thus we find the current share price

Now

Current share price will be the present value of cash dividends received over 8 years is given below

Current share price=$7.40 *Present value of annuity factor(12%,8)

Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

=7.4[1-(1.12)^-8]/0.12

=7.4*4.967639767

=$36.76

Therefore the current share price is $36.76
