    The correct answer is $65.90 (approx.)

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

    Dividend paid = $8.50

    Increase dividend = $6.50 per year

    Require return = 16%

    We can calculate the current share price by using following method:

    =[ ($8.5 + $6.5) : (1 + 16%) ^1] + [ ($8.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) : (1 + 16%) ^2] + [ ($8.5 + $6.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) : (1+16%) ^3] + [ ($8.5 + $6.5 + $6.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) : (1+16%) ^4

    = $15 : 1.16 + $21.5 : 1.16^2 + 28 : 1.16^3 + 34.5 : 1.16^4

    = $65.90 (approx.)
