The price of the stock today is $80.00

Explanation:

The price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate is calculated by the constant growth model of the DDM. The price of a stock under DDM is based on the present value of the expected future dividends that the stock will pay. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

D1 is the dividend expected for the next period r is the required rate of return g is the growth rate in dividends

P0 = 1.6 / (0.05 - 0.03)

P0 = $80.00
