    Correct answer is 20.80$.

    Options given are incorrect.

    Explanation:

    Earnings per share = (Dividend + addition to retained earnings) / Total number of shares

    Earnings per share = (525000 + 1570000) / 495000

    EPS = 1.37777

    PE ratio = Stock price / EPS

    15.1 = Stock price / 1.377777

    Stock price = 15.1 x 1.37777

    Stock price = 20.80$
