    Answer:The answer is $16.66

    Explanation:

    Using the formula

    Present worth = X / (1+R/100) ∧n

    X = $9.15, R = 5 % (5/100) = 0.05, n = 1

    9.15 / (1 + 0.05) ∧1

    = 9.15 / (1.05) ∧1

    9.15/1.05

    = 8.71

    Requirement of 15% on the stock

    X = 9.15, R = 15% (15/100) = 0.15, n=1

    X / (1+R/100) ∧n

    9.15 / (1 + 0.15) ∧1

    = 9.15 / (1.15) ∧1

    9.15/1.15

    = 7.95

    To arrive at the value of the share today, add the present worth together

    8.71 + 7.95

    = 16.66

    The price to pay for the share today is $16.66
