Answer:
33.94%
Explanation:
The computation of stock's expected price 5 years is shown below:-
Stock price = $26
Required return = 12%
Growth rate = 7%
Current dividend per share = Stock price × (Required return - Growth rate) ÷ (1 + Growth rate)
= $26 × (12% - 7%) ÷ (1 + 7%)
= $26 × 5% ÷ 1.07
= $1.21
Stock price in 5 years = Expected dividend ÷ (required return - Growth rate)
Expected dividend = $1.21 × (1 + 7%)^5
= $1.21 × 1.402551731
= $1.697
Stock price in 5 years = $1.697 ÷ (12% - 7%)
= $1.697 ÷ 5%
= 33.94%
