Answer: $19.57

Explanation:

You should be willing to pay for the what the stock is valued at the moment and you can use the Gordon Growth Model to value this stock.

Formula is,

Vs = D1 / Re - g

Vs = Value of stock

D1 = the next dividend

Re = Required Return

g = growth rate

Value of stock is,

= 2.25 / (12.25% - 0.75%)

= $19.565

= $19.57
