Answer:

$41.56

Explanation:

Since Antiques' dividends have a negative growth rate, we must adjust the perpetuity growth formula to recognize that negative growth:

stock price = [dividend (1 + growth rate)] / (required rate of return - growth rate)

  • dividend = $7
  • growth rate = -5%
  • required rate of return = 11%

stock price = [$7 (1 - 5%)] / (11% - -5%) = ($7 x 95%) / 16% = $6.65 / 16% = $41.56
