43.89.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calulate the stock intrinsic value as of now using dividend discounted model (DDM). The dividend discounted model is stated as below:

Stock intrinsic value = Next year dividend / (Required rate of return - Dividend long term growth)

= 2.75 / (13% - 5%) = 34.375.

This a perfectly efficient market, the stock will grow 15% each each from now. So expected value of the stock in 2 years is 34.375 x (1 + 13%) ^2 = 43.89.
