    Current price of the stock of Jameson company is $18.62. Therefore, the correct option is A

    Explanation:

    The formula of required rate of return is:

    Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium

    = 4% + 1.15 * 5%

    = 4% 5.75%

    = 9.75%

    Computation of current stock price is:

    Current stock price = Expected dividend per share / (Required rate of return - Growth in dividend)

    = (0.75 + [5.50% * 0.75]) / (0.0975 - 0.055)

    = 0.79125 / 0.0425

    = $18.62
