    The value of the stock today is $40.54

    Explanation:

    The price of the stock today can be calculated using the two stage growth model of Dividend Discount Model approach. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends of the stock. The price of this stock today can be calculated as follows,

    P0 = 2.27 * (1+0.25) / (1+0.09) + [ (2.27 * (1+0.25) * (1+0.02) / (0.09-0.02)) / (1+0.09) ]

    P0 = $40.535 rounded off to $40.54
