Explanation:

The dividend discount model state that the price of a stock should be the result of the Present Value of all of its future dividends, the Gordon growth model indicates that:

Price per Share = D / (r - g) = $2,16 / (0,10-0,04) = $36

Where:

D = the estimated value of next year's dividend

r = The required rate of return

g = the constant growth rate

To this case the value is: $2,16 / (0,10-0,04) = $36
