Answer:

P11 = $203.125

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock in year 11. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,  

 

D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year  

g is the growth rate

r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

P11 = 16.25 / (0.135 - 0.055)

P11 = $203.125
