    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
