    The answer is $40.35.

    Explanation:

    If Ron requires a return of 14 percent on such stocks, the maximum price he should be willing to pay for a share of the bank's stock with no expected growth in the near future:

    Price of Stock = Expected Dividend x (1 + Growth Rate) / Expected Rate of Return = $5.65 x (1 + 0%) / 0.14% = $40.35

    Assume that First National Bank will continue to pay dividends at the same rate as that of the last year.
