    The price of the stock today is $68.85

    Explanation:

    The stock's dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate indefinitely. Such a stock qualifies under the constant growth model of the DDM and the price for such a stock today is calculated using the following formula,

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

    Where,

    D0 * (1+g) is D1 that is dividend expected for the next period r is the required rate of return g is the growth rate in dividends

    P0 = 1.79 * (1+0.077) / (0.105 - 0.077)

    P0 = $68.85
