Respuesta :

Answer:

B) $42.63

Explanation:

To determine the value of AB stock we must find the present value of the cash flow for next year:

total cash flow for next year = $46 (selling price) + $2.38 (= $238  / 100 shares) = $48.38

present value = $48.38 / (1 + 13.5%) = $48.38 / 1.135 = $42.63
