Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

ROE = 20 %

dividend payout ratio = 70%

paid = $ 2.00

value of current stock if required return is 18% = ?

g = (1 - payout ) x  ROE

  = (1 - 0.7 ) x 20%

  = 6 %

dividend =  2 (1 + growth rate)

               = 2 x (1 + 0.06) =$ 2.12

as current value of stock

        = [tex]\dfrac{D1}{required\ return - growth \ rate}[/tex]

        = [tex]\dfrac{2.12}{0.18 - 0.06}[/tex]

        = $17.67

hence, the correct answer is option C
