No its c) 0.19 your calc. is wrong cause g is 7.5% and r is 11%

g = 0.5*0.15 = 0.075 next dividend = 2.5*(1.075) = 2.6875 2.6875/(0.11-0.075) = $76.78 P/S = 76.78/400 = 0.19

I got something a little different… using ddm— 2.68/ (k-g)=2.68/3.5%=$76.78 stock price/400=.19 daj224 it looks like you forgot the 11%required rate of return
