    Answer: Current Price $26.65

    Explanation:

    Rate of return = 12.5%

    dividends = $1.98

    Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe = $28

    Current price = Pc

    R = (Pe - Pc + D) / Pa

    0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98) / Pc

    28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc

    -Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98

    - 1.125Pc = - 29.98

    Pc = - 29.98 / (-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889

    Pc = $ 26.65
