    The share will cost $37.04

    Explanation:

    We divide the quarterly dividend by the quarterly rate to get the present intrinsic value of the stock:

    13.5% = 13.5/100 = 0.135

    now we divide by 4:

    0.135 / 4 = 0,03375‬ quarterly rate

    1.25 / 0.03375 = 37,037037 = $37.04 value of the share according to the present value of their future cash dividends.
