Answer:
B) $26.30
Explanation:
To determine an investor's valuation of the stock we must calculate the present value of next year's dividend and selling price:
present value = [dividend / (1 + rate)] + [selling price / (1 + rate)]
present value = [$0.24 / (1 + 15%)] + [$30 / (1 + 15%)] = $0.21 + $26.09 = $26.30
