Answer:
$ 152.35
Explanation:
The stock price today can be computed by first determining the future value of the dividend in perpetuity ,then discounting that to present value.
Value in perpetuity=dividend/required return
dividend is $20
required return is 5.10%
value in perpetuity=$20/5.10%=$392.16
The price of the stock today is the present value of the value in perpetuity
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
FV is $392.16
r is the required return of 5.10%
n is the number of years involved,which is 19,it is 19 because counting from today till the next next years would be first day of the next twenty years
price=$392*(1+5.10%)^-19=$ 152.35
