    Price lowers and becomes negative or - 5.37 dollars

    Explanation:

    Market risk premium's formula could be written as dividends/price + dividend's growth rate. Therefore, we dividend growth rate according to the current price and dividend level equal to market risk premium - dividends/price or 0.15 - 1/15.43 = 0.086 or 8.6%. If the dividend growth rate rises by 25% than new one is 33.6%. Price is equal to dividends/market risk premium - dividend growth rate or in this case 1/0.15-0.336 or 1/-0.186 or - 5.37 dollars. If the price is negative that would mean that any future selling of the stock would mean that ABC would have to pay in order to sell it.
