    The current share price is $52.49.

    Explanation:

    Price of a share which involve a Dividend payment for a specific period can be calculated by calculating present values of future expected dividends which is a annuity payment.

    Present value of an annuity = D x (1 - (1 + r) ^-n) / r

    Present value of an annuity = $8 x (1 - (1 + 0.085) ^-10) / 0.085

    Present value of an annuity = $8 x (1 - (1.085) ^-10) / 0.085

    Present value of an annuity = $52.49

    Current price of the share = $52.49
