Expert Solution

Price of the share can be calculated by using dividend discount model by using below formula

P = D1/(k-g)

Where

D1 is year 1 dividend = 2.58

K is expected return = 14%

G is growth rate =8%

price = 2.58/(0.14-0.08) = 43

So market value would be 43 which is selling for 39.96 so it is a good buy
