Answer: $43.75

Explanation:

The value of Newport Printing stock can be calculated using the Dividend Growth Model which uses dividends and a growth rate to calculate the value of stock.

Formula is,

P = D (1 + g) / (r - g)

P is the price of stock

D is the dividend

g is the growth rate

r is the required return.

P = 2.5 (1 + 0.05) / (0.11 - 0.05)

= 2.625/0.06

= $43.75
