This can be solved by applying the Gordon's Growth Model

P = D1 / Ks - G

were P= Price of stock

D1= Next year dividend

Ks = Cost of equity

G = Growth rate

here D1 = $1.25 (This is the upcoming quarterly dividend so growth rate is included if dividend that was given is for the previous quarter multiply it with the growth rate.)

Ks = 14%

G = 1.9%

Here all figures are in quarter so no need to annualise.

P = 1.25 / .14 - .019

   = 1.25 / .121

Price = $10.33
