    27.5

    Explanation:

    Fristly, we need to calculate cost of equity using capital asset pricing model:

    Cost of equity = Risk-free rate + Beta x Market risk premium

    = 8% + 2 x 4% = 16%

    Next, we apply dividend discount model to value the stock of Swanson Company:

    Stock intrinsic value = Next year dividend / (Cost of equity - Long term growth)

    = 1.5 x (1 + 10%) / (16% - 10%)

    = 27.5
