    Market capitalization - $155.26

    Stock price - $26.77

    Explanation:

    The computation of the market capitalization is shown below:

    = last year dividend * (1 + growth rate) : (cost of capital - growth rate)

    = $5.18 billion * (1 + 7.9%) : (11.5% - 7.9%)

    = $5.58,922 billion : 3.6%

    = $155.26

    And, the stock price would be

    = Market capitalization : outstanding shares

    = $155.26 : 5.8 billion

    = $26.77
