    The current share price is $54.74.

    Explanation:

    The current share price is the present value of the Year 3 share price plus the present value of the first three dividends.

    We first find the Year 3 share price, when the dividend growth becomes constant, using the formula:

    P₃ = D₀ (1 + g₁) ³ (1 + g₂) / (R - g₂)

    P₃ = 2.95 (1 + 0.28) ³ (1 + 0.064) / (0.16 - 0.064)

    P₃ = 6.5825 / 0.096

    P₃ = 68.568

    Next, we find the present of the dividends received in the first three years plus the present value of the Year 3 stock price calculated above.

    P₀ = [2.95 (1.28) / 1.16] + [2.95 (1.28) ² / (1.16) ²] + [2.95 (1.28) ³ / (1.16) ³] + [68.568 / (1.16) ³]

    P₀ = $54.74
