Answer:

P0 = $9.04279 rounded off to $9.04

Option c is the correct answer

Explanation:

Using the the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  D3 / (1+r)^3

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return

P0 = 4 / (1+0.156)  +  4 / (1+0.156)^2  +  4 / (1+0.156)^3

P0 = $9.04279 rounded off to $9.04
