    Angle Paid $6,000 for the share which has value of $50,000.

    Explanation:

    The value of the stock is calculated by dividing the dividend (expected return) with Net Discount rate of Growth rate.

    Expected Dividend = $400

    Growth = 0% (as dividend is expected to be same for indefinite period of time)

    Discount rate = 8%

    Price of the Bond = Dividend / (Discount rate - Growth rate)

    Price of the Bond = $4000 / (8% - 0%)

    Price of the Bond = $4000 / 8%

    Price of the Bond = $4000 / 0.08

    Price of the Bond = $50,000

    Angle Paid $6,000 for the share which has value of $50,000.
