Answer:

The correct answer to the question is $39.00 ,option d

The maximum a rational investor could pay for a share is the present value of the future cash flows from investing in the share.

The cash flows in this case refers both dividends and price receivable from eventual disposal of the share.

Explanation:

The present value of $44 and 2.18% of $44=$0.96

PV =Total cash flow *discounting factor using 15%

Total cash flows=$44+$0.96

Total cash flows=$44.96

DCF =1/(1+0.15)^1

DCF=0.8695

PV=0.8695*44.96

PV=$39
