Answer:

What is the current stock price?

$25.57

Explanation:

The company just paid a Dividend of $1,50, the next year they will pay a Dividend of $1,50 plus 1,04 (Growth rate), Dividend next year = $1,56

To a constant growth of dividends and assuming it's a constant growth we'll  applied the Gordon growth model (GGM), which state that a price per share it's determined by the next formula:

Price per Share = D / (r - g)   Where:

D = the estimated value of next year's dividend

r = The required rate of return

g = the constant growth rate

To this case the value is:  ($1,50 * 1,04) / (10,1%-4%) = $1,56 / 0,061 = $25,57
