What is the value of the stock?

In order to determine the value of the stock, the constant dividend growth model would be used. The constant dividend model postulates that the value of a stock is a function of the required return, the growth rate and dividend.

Value of the stock = [dividend x (1 + g)] / (r - g)

Value of the stock = [1.60 x (1.12)] / (0.14 - 0.12)

Value of the stock = 1.792 / 0.02

Value of the stock = $89.60
