Earnings per share = $3 per share
Dividend per share = $3 * 30% = $0.9 per share
Retention ratio = 100 - dividend % = 100 - 30 = 70%
Return on equity = 5% ( given)
Growth(g) = Return on equity * Retention Ratio
= 5 * 70%
= 3.5%
Po = D1/(ke - g)
Where Po = Current stock price
D1 = Dividend next year = Current dividend + Growth = $0.9 + 3.5% = $0.9315
Ke = Required rate of return = 6%(given)
Po = $0.9315 / (6% - 3.5%)
= $ 37.26
