    The price of the stock today is $11.59

    Explanation:

    As Gordon Growth Model, price of stock = expected dividend paid / (discounting rate - growth rate)

    Growth rate of dividend from year 1 to year 8 (after 7 years)

    = ($2.4/$4.3) ^ (1/7) - 1 = - 8%

    Price of stock = $2.4 / (12.7% - (-8%) = $11.59
