    The answer is $52.12.

    Explanation:

    We apply the dividend discount model to come up with the price for share.

    The price for share under the dividend discount model is the present value of all its future dividend discounted at the required rate of return.

    As the share has 9 annual equal dividend payments of $9.05 each year and the required rate is 10%, we have the price of the share is calculated by applying the annuity formula as:

    (9.05/0.1) * [1 - 1.1^ (-9) ] = $52.12.

    So, the current share price is $52.12.
