Answer:
The current share price is $71.05
Explanation:
P3 = D3(1 + g)/(R – g)
= D0[(1 + g1)^3](1 + g2)/(R – g)
= [$1.45*(1.20)^3(1.08)]/(0.11 – 0.08)
= $90.20
The price of the stock today is the PV of the first three dividends, plus the PV of the Year 3 stock price given by:
P0 = $1.45(1.20)/1.11 + $1.45[(1.20)^2]/1.112 + $1.45[(1.20)^3]/1.113 + $90.20/1.113
= 1.568 + 1.695 + 1.832 + 65.958
= $71.05
Therefore, The current share price is $71.05
