    The fair price of stock today is $48.425 and that is the most one should be willing to pay today.

    Explanation:

    The company's dividend will grow at a constant rate of 4.3% which means that the constant growth model of Dividend Discount Model will be used to calculate the price of a stock today.

    The formula for Constant growth model is,

    P0 = D0 (1 + g) / r - g

    Where,

    D0 is dividend today r is the required rate of return g is the growth rate in dividend

    P0 = 1.95 * (1+0.043) / 0.085 - 0.043

    P0 = $48.425
