You use the dividend growth formula from the formula sheet.
the dividend growth rate = g = (fourth root of (24/20.51)) - 1 = 0.04 (4%)
From the CAPM formula, Re = 3% + 4% = 7%
Therefore using the value, the market value per share = (24 x 1.04) / (0.07 - 0.04) = 832c (or $8.32 per share).
Multiply by the number of shares and you have the answer.
