    The market value of the stock is $36.60

    Explanation:

    The formula relevant to computing the market value of the stock is given as

    Price=Dividend / (return rate-growth rate)

    Dividend=$2.58

    return rate = 14%

    growth rate = 6.95%

    Price=$2.58 / (14%-6.95%) = 36.59574468

    Approximately $36.60

    The market price forecast is based on the dividend yield and gains yield attributable to the stock in the future.

    Besides, a stock that promises higher dividend yield and gains yield would priced higher by investors owing to its high returns capacity while the reverse is the case for a stock with lower returns.

    No wonder the stocks of companies like Apple is highly priced, even from their first day of listing on the stock exchange.
