    The value of the stock today is $25.04

    Explanation:

    The value or price of stock today can be calculated using the two stage growth model of Dividend Discount Model approach. This model bases the value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends of the stock. The price of this stock under the two stage growth model will be calculated as follow,

    P0 = 1.07 * (1+0.17) / (1+0.07) + [ (1.07 * (1+0.17) * (1+0.02) / (0.07-0.02)) / (1+0.07) ]

    P0 = $25.038 rounded off to $25.04
