Evan Spears · Answer 1

current price=Dividend for next period / (Required return-Growth rate)

= (3.3*1.045) / (0.09-0.045) = $76.63 (Approx)

Price in 6 years=Current price (1+Growth rate) ^6

=$76.63 (1.045) ^6=$99.80 (Approx)

Price in 13 years=Current price (1+Growth rate) ^13

=$76.63 (1.045) ^13=$135.81 (Approx)
