    Expected dividend (D1) = $5

    Cost of equity (Ke) = 11.6% = 0.116

    Growth rate (g) = 2.5% = 0.025

    Po = D1

    Ke - g

    Po = $5

    0.116 - 0.025

    Po = $5

    0.091

    Po = $54.95

    Explanation:

    The current market price of the stock is a function of expected dividend divided by the difference between expected return and growth rate.
