    A) $60.00

    Explanation:

    to calculate the value of Sultan's stocks, we need to use the growing perpetuity formula:

    stock price = dividend / (required return rate - growth rate)

    dividend = ($6,000,000 x 60%) / 1.2 million shares = $3,600,000 / 1.2 million shares = $3 per share required return rate = 10% growth rate = 5%

    stock price = $3 / (10% - 5%) = $3 / 5% = $60 per share
