Information provided:

Current dividend = $1.30

Growth rate of dividends= 5%

Required rate of return= 12%

The question is solved using the dividend discount model.

a.Price of the stock today=D1/(r-g)

where:

D1=next dividend payment

r=interest rate

g=firm’s expected growth rate

Current price of stock= $1.30*(1+0.05)/ 0.12 – 0.05

                                          = $1.3650/ 0.07

                                          = $19.50.

Therefore, the current price is $19.50.

b.Price of stock in 6 years: $19.50*(1+0.05)^6 = $26.13.

Therefore, the stock price in 6 years is $26.13.
