    The current price of the stock is $28.20

    Explanation:

    The stock rate of return is 15% this includes both, the dividends and capital gains. Therefore, we should discount our expected cash flow at the required return rate:

    Year 1:

    2 / (1 + 0.15) = 2 / 1.15 = 1.73913

    Year 2:

    (3 dividends + 32 stock) / 1.15^2 = 35 / 1.3225 = 26.4650

    Then we add both discounted cash flow:

    1.73913 + 26.4650 = 28.20413
