    The price of the stock today is $12.43

    Explanation:

    The price of the share today can be calculated using the DDM approach whereby discount the expected future cashflows by the required rate of return and calculating the perpetuity value or terminal value where the growth becomes zero.

    The price of the Stock today is,

    P0 = 0.28 * (1+1) / (1+0.115) + 0.28 * (1+1) ² / (1+0.115) ² + 0.28 * (1+1) ³ / (1+0.115) ³ + [ (1.5 / 0.115) / (1+0.115) ³]

    P0 = $12.428 rounded off to $12.43
