    The price of the stock one year from now will be $20.71

    Explanation:

    Using the constant growth model of Dividend Discount Model, we can calculate the price of a share that grows at a constant rate. The formula for price today under constant growth model is,

    P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

    Using the available values for price, D0 and g, we can calculate the required rate of return.

    19 = 1 * (1+0.09) / (r - 0.09)

    19 * (r - 0.09) = 1.09

    19r - 1.71 = 1.09

    19r = 1.09 + 1.71

    r = 2.8 / 19

    r = 0.1473684211 or 14.73684211% rounded off to 14.74%

    To calculate the stock price today using this model, we use D1 or dividend for the next period. To calculate the price one year from now, we will use D2.

    P1 = 1.09 * (1+0.09) / (0.1473684211 - 0.09)

    P1 = $20.71
