Answer:

$21

Explanation:

The computation of the current stock price is shown below:

Current stock price = (Next year dividend) ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $1.55 + $1.55 × 0.06

= $1.55 + $0.093

= $1.643

Now placing these values, so the current stock price is

= ($1.643) ÷ (14% - 6%)

= ($1.643) ÷ (8%)

= $21
