    The price of the stock four years from now $9.75

    Explanation:

    The constant growth model of the DDM approach will be used to calculate the value of this stock as its dividends grow by a constant percentage. The formula for the constant growth model is,

    P0 = D1 / r - g

    To calculate the price of the stock today, we use the fividend for the next period i. e. D1.

    So, to calculate the price of stock four years from now, we will use D5.

    D5 = D1 * (1+g) ^4

    And D1 = 0.5

    So, the price of the stock four years from now is:

    P = 0.5 * (1+0.04) ^4 / 0.1 - 0.04

    P = $9.748 rounded off to $9.75
