Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

D1 = 1.46

D2 = 1.46

D3 = 15.25

[tex]Stock\ value=\frac{D1}{(1+r)^{t}}+\frac{D2}{(1+r)^{t}}+\frac{D3}{(1+r)^{t}}[/tex]

[tex]Stock\ value=\frac{1.46}{(1.185)^{1}}+\frac{1.46}{(1.185)^{2}}+\frac{15.25}{(1.185)^{3}}[/tex]

                           = 1.2320 + 1.0397 + 9.1646

                            = 11.44
