Answer:

$24.85

Explanation:

The stock price of the abc is given below:

Value of Stock after Year 3 = (Forecasted Dividend for Year 3 × Growth Rate) ÷ (Required Rate of Return - Growth Rate of Dividend)

 = (2.5 × 1.03) ÷ (0.12-0.03)

= 28.61

Now  

Current Stock Price = PV of all Future Dividends and Present Value of Stock after Year 3

 =(1.25 ÷ 1.12) + (2 ÷ 1.12^2) + (2.5 ÷ 1.12^3) + (28.61 ÷ 1.12^3)

 = 1.1161 + 1.5944 + 1.7795 + 20.3640

= $24.85
