Answer:

The price of the common stock today is $73.46

Explanation:

The stock is a zero growth stock which means that the dividend has zero growth. For such a stock, the price or fair value is simply calculated just like the value of a perpetuity. The formula to calculate the price of a zero dividend growth stock is,

P0 = D/Ke

Where,

  • Po is the price or fair value of the stock today
  • D is the dividend paid today which will remain constant
  • Ke is the required rate of return on such a stock

Thus,

P0= 9.55 / 0.13

P0 = $73.46
