Answer:

Share price is the PV of Cash flows discounted at required return
   
As per CAPM, Cost of Equity = Rf + (Rm - RF) * Beta
Cost of Equity = 9% + (17% - 9%) * 1.8
Cost of Equity = 23.4%
  170
Share Price = (Dividend in 2007 / (1+r)) + (Dividend in 2013 / (1+r)^7) + (Stock Price in 2013 / (1+r)^7)
Share Price = (2 / (1+23.4%)) + (3/ (1+23.4%)^7) + (19/ (1+23.4%)^7)
Share Price = $6.67  
   
Option B is correct
