Explanation:

Dividend Discount Model will be used and the formula is:

Ke = D1/Po + g

Where Ke is the cost of equity

D1 is the next year dividend

Po is the current share price

g is the growth rate.

Let's find the growth rate first.

g = Ke - D1/Po

= 0.12 - 2/24

0.12 - 0.083

=0.036 or 3.6%

So expected price of the stock in six year's time (future value) is

24 x 1.036^6

=$29.67
