Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is $7.33.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Rate of return = 18%

Growth rate = - 25%

Annual dividend = $4.20

So, we can calculate the current price by using following formula:

Current price = Dividend expected ÷ ( Rate of return - Growth rate)

By putting the value, we get

Current price = $4.20 (1 - 25%) ÷ 18% - ( -25%)

= $3.15 ÷ 43%

= $7.33
