Answer:

$28.18

Explanation:

Use dividend discount model to answer this question.

Current dividend ; D0 = 3.40

growth rate; g = 2.2% or 0.022 as a decimal

D1 = D0(1+g)

D1 = 3.40(1.022)

D1 = 3.4748

Since you are buying the stock next year, calculate dividend at year 2 which you would use in the formula to find next year's price (P1) ;

D2 = D1(1+g)

D2 = 3.4748 (1.022)

D2 = 3.5512

Next year's price; P1 = D2 / (r-g)

P1 = 3.5512 / (0.148 - 0.022)

P1 = 28.1841

Therefore, you will pay $28.18
