Explanation:

given data

annual dividend = $5 per share

par value = $30

required return = 20%

To find out

stocks market value

solution

we consider stock market value is M

we know here annual dividend is $5 per share

so we can say

annual dividend = market value * require return ... 1

put here all these value

annual dividend = market value * require return

5 = 20% * M

M = 5 / 20%

M = 5 / 0.20

M = 25

stocks market value is $25

so correct option is d
