    B) $26.30

    Explanation:

    To determine an investor's valuation of the stock we must calculate the present value of next year's dividend and selling price:

    present value = [dividend / (1 + rate) ] + [selling price / (1 + rate) ]

    present value = [$0.24 / (1 + 15%) ] + [$30 / (1 + 15%) ] = $0.21 + $26.09 = $26.30
