The market capitalization rate on the stock of Aberdeen Wholesale Company is 10%. Its expected ROE is 12%, and its expected EPS is $5. If the firm's payout ratio is 70%, what is the value of the stock assuming a constant growth of dividends? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Value of stock (P0) = Expected dividend / (market capitalization rate - constant growth rate)
