    Answer: $50

    Explanation:

    We can use the Gordon Growth Model of Stock Valuation. The formula is thus,

    P = D1 / r - g

    D1 = the annual expected dividend of the next year

    r = rate of return

    g = the expected dividend growth rate (assumed to be constant)

    There is no growth potential and dividends are expected to stay the same so no growth rate and D1 will be the same as D0.

    Plugging that into the formula therefore will give us

    P = D1/r

    P = 4.5/0.09

    = $50

    Current Stock Price is $50.
