Answer:

The price per share today is a.$9.49

Explanation:

The value of the stock today can be calculated using the constant growth model of the DDM. The constant growth model is applicable when dividend are growing at a constant rate forever. the growth rate here is negative thus g will be -1.15%

The formula for Constant growth model is,

Price = 1.58 / (0.155 + 0.0115)

Price = $9.49
