    The price of the common stock today is $73.46

    Explanation:

    The stock is a zero growth stock which means that the dividend has zero growth. For such a stock, the price or fair value is simply calculated just like the value of a perpetuity. The formula to calculate the price of a zero dividend growth stock is,

    P0 = D/Ke

    Where,

    Po is the price or fair value of the stock today D is the dividend paid today which will remain constant Ke is the required rate of return on such a stock

    Thus,

    P0 = 9.55 / 0.13

    P0 = $73.46
