    The correct answer is $93.14.

    Explanation:

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

    D0 = $1.21

    Dividend 1st year = $1.21 * 1.24

    Dividend 2nd year = $1.21 * 1.24 * 1.20

    Dividend 3rd year = $1.21 * 1.24 * 1.20 * 1.072

    So, we can calculate the stock's current market value by using following formula:

    Stock current market value = $1.21 (1.24) : (1.09) + $1.21 (1.24) (1.20) : (1.09) 2 + 1.21 (1.24) (1.20) (1.072) : (0.09 - 0.072) (1.09) 2

    = $1.38 + $1.51 + $90.25

    Stock Current market Price = $93.14
