    The value of the Share of Zeke after the new Expansion is $25.

    Explanation:

    As there was no growth in the dividend before change, Price of the share from a stable dividend payment can be calculated by following formula.

    Price = Dividend / Required rate of return

    As we have the share price and the dividend amount we need to calculate the required rate of return.

    Required rate of return = Dividend / Price

    Placing value in the formula

    Required rate of return = $2.50 / $25.00 = 0.1 = 10%

    After New Expansion

    Dividend = $1.50

    Growth rate = 4%

    The share price can be calculated by the dividend growth formula, as follow

    Price of share = Dividend / (Rate of return - growth rate)

    Price of share = $1.50 / (10% - 4%)

    Price of share = $1.50 / 6%

    Price of share = $25
