    The cost of the share is the present value of future cash flows which is $146.84

    Explanation:

    The formula for the total dividends payable in perpetuity is given as

    dividends / (return rate - growth rate)

    since dividends growth rate is zero the dividends in perpetuity can be written as $11 / (0.041-0) = $268.29 in today's terms

    The dividends in perpetuity needs to be discounted to show that the present value today by a way of discounting.

    the formula for discounting is given as pv=fv / (1+r) ^n

    where fv future value of dividends is $268.29

    rate is 4.1%

    n is 15 years since dividend payment begins at the commencement of sixteenth year

    PV=268.29 / (1+0.041) ^15

    PV=$146.84
