E.  $40.68

Explanation:

The computation of the stock worth today is shown below:

= (Dividend in year 1 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years ) + (Dividend in year 2 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years) + (Dividend in year 3 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years)  + (Dividend in year 3 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years) × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)

= $1.2 ÷ 1.14 + $1.5 ÷ 1.14^2 + $2 ÷ 1.14^3 + $2 ÷ 1.14^3 × (1 + 10%) ÷ (14%-10%)

= $40.68
