    The current price of stock is $31.94.

    Explanation:

    The stock price can be calculated by simply dividing the last paid dividend with net required rate of return of expected growth rate.

    Growth rate = 0% (as sales not expected to grow)

    Last Dividend = $5.75

    Rate of return = 18% = 0.18

    Price of stock = Last dividend / (rate of return - growth rate)

    Price of stock = $5.75 / (18% - 0%)

    Price of stock = $5.75 / 18%

    Price of stock = $5.75 / 0.18

    Price of stock = $31.94
