    21.42

    Explanation:

    rE = Div1 / P0 + g

    = 3.00 / 25.50 +.04

    = 0.15% or 15%

    Solve for new stock price:

    P0 = Div1 / (rE - g)

    = 1.50 / (0.15-.08)

    =1.50/0.07

    = 21.42

    Therefore assuming that JRN's risk is unchanged by the expansion, the value of a share of JRN after the announcement is closest to: 21.42
