Answer:
the current price of the stock is $71.75
Explanation:
The computation of the current stock price is shown below:
Price at year 9 is
= Dividend ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
= $14 ÷ (14 - 8%)
= $233.33
Now the current price of the stock is
= Price at year 9 ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^number of years
= $233.33 ÷ (1 + 0.14)^9
= $71.75
Hence, the current price of the stock is $71.75
