Answer:

b. $4.22

Explanation:

The computation of the price that willing to pay is shown below:

But before that we need to do the following calculations

Terminal value at year 5 is

= 0.75 ÷ 0.116

= 6.46552

Now

Total cash flow is

= 6.46552 + .40

= 6.86552

And finally

Present value =(PVF at 11.6%,4 × D4 ) + (PVF at 11.6%,5 × CF5)

= (0.64468 × 0.40) + (0.57767 × 6.86552)

= 0.2579+ 3.9660

= $4.22

Hence, the correct option is b.
