Answer:

$48.09

Explanation:

using the constant growth model, we can determine the price of the stock in two years:

stock price = $1/1.08 + $1/1.08² + [($1 x 1.08)/(8% - 6%)] /1.08²

  • the constant growth formula = ($1 x 1.08)/(8% - 6%) = $54

stock price = $1/1.08 + $1/1.08² + $54/1.08² = $0.93 + $0.86 + $46.30 = $48.09
