Answer:

A) $87.89

Explanation:

To calculate the current price of National's stock we can use the following formula:

current stock price = D1 / Kcs - g

where:

  • g =3.8%
  • D1 = $8 x (1 + 0.038) = $8.304
  • Kcs = 0.023 + 1.19 (0.115 - 0.023) = 0.13248

current stock price = $8.304 / (0.13248 - 0.038) = $8.304 / 0.09448 = $87.89
