    Price of stock = $ 15.31

    Explanation:

    According to the dividend valuation model, the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.

    So we will discount the steams of dividend using the required rate of 11% as follows:

    Year Present Value (PV)

    1 $1.65 * 1.11^ (-1) = 1.486

    2 $1.63 * 1.11^ (-2) = = 1.322

    3 $1.65 * 1.11^ (-3) = 1.2064

    Year 4 and beyond

    This will be done in two steps

    Step 1:

    PV of dividend in year 3 = 1.70/0.11 = 15.45

    Step 2

    PV of dividend in year 0 = 15.45 * 1.11^ (-3) = 11.30

    Price of stock = 1.486 + 1.322 + 1.2064 + 11.30

    =$ 15.31
