Answer:

C

Explanation:

First let calculate the stock intrinsic value to see whether is stock is overvalued or undervalued based on current market price. The stock can be valued using dividend discounted model (DDM). The DDM is stated as below:

Stock value = Next year dividend/(required rate of return - long-term growth)

                   = 4.00/(12% - 5%) = 57.14

The stock intrinsic value is higher than current market price so it is undervalued now. Correct answer is option C
