The price of the stock = 40.64

Explanation:

According to the dividend growth model, the price of a stock is the present value of expected dividend discounted at the required rate of return.

This is done as follows:

Price of a stock = D * (1+r) / (r-g)

D (1+g) - Dividend for next year = 3.17

g - growth rate - 3.9%

r - required rate of return - 11.7%

P = 3.17 / (0.117 - 0.039) = 40.641

The price of the stock = 40.64
