    The maximum price that should be paid for this stock today is $20.71

    Explanation:

    The company will pay its first dividend in Year 3 which means the dividend of $3 is D3. Using the constant growth model of DDM we can calculate the price of this stock at year 3. We will discount back that to the present value to calculate the price of the stock today. the price at year 3 using the constant growth model will be,

    P3 = D4 / r - g

    P3 = 3 * (1+0.05) / (0.15 - 0.05)

    P3 = $31.5

    The maximum price that should be paid for this stock today is,

    P0 = 31.5 / (1+0.15) ^3

    P0 = $20.71
