Answer:
$27.50
Explanation:
Given that,
Expected dividend to pay this year = $2.75
Growth rate of dividend = 4% per year
Equity cost of capital = 14%
It is calculated by dividing the dividend to be paid this year by the difference of equity cost of capital and growth rate of dividend.
Value of a share of VBS stock:
= Expected dividend ÷ (Cost of equity - Growth rate of dividend)
= $2.75 ÷ (0.14 - 0.04)
= $2.75 ÷ 0.1
= $27.5
Therefore, the value of a share of VBS stock is closest to $27.5.
